This residential project, located in an urban area, serves three target users: older adults, younger adults, and rescued dogs. By linking these three groups together through design and creating a comfortable living space that provides benefits to each group in both physical and psychological ways, I believe this community could become a new residence model for the future. Some older adults, whose children have grown up and are leading independent lives, often live alone, feel lonely, and have become less active members of society. Similarly, younger adults who have left their home country or hometown in the U.S. to study in another city may also feel alone and lack a feeling of belonging to a community. Furthermore, many rescued dogs have been living in kennels and cages without people petting them and paying attention to them. These three groups share the need to be loved and cared for by others.

The Crossroads Community

User Profile

The first target user is the older adults over 70, who do not need assisted living care. They are living without the company of family members and are no longer active members of society. This loneliness and isolation can cause emotional problems like depression and affect their physical and mental health. The second target user is the younger adults in their college-age students who live and study away from their homes. They have left their home towns and countries and face economic pressures, as well as loneliness, which can affect their school work and health. The last group of user is rescued dogs. They live in kennels or cages in shelters waiting for their forever home. They do not have enough space to live, love, and feel connected with people. Also, in order to be adopted, they must be more visible to the public.

Concept Development

Concept Statement

Crossroads are where the magical convergence happens. This residential community bonds seniors, students and rescued dogs together, sharing love and supporting each other. Reflecting on the project location of San Francisco, this city has a harmonious and balanced relationship between old and new. This warm, comfortable and safe “crossroads” community provides more joy and inspire new friendships.

Development

This residential project inspired by crossroads, where the magical convergence happens. This community bonds seniors, students and rescued dogs together. Also, reflecting on the project location of San Francisco, the city has a harmonious and balanced relationship between old and new. In this crossroads community, it used arch shaped and rough texture to represent “old“. On the other hand, it used straight line and smooth texture as “new“. The harmonious relationship between traditional and contemporary elements just like the difference between each user group and site location, San Francisco. The color palette of this project got inspired from the nature. The sunlight shining through the forest, the natural wave on the rock and the pattern of veins on a leaf. These elements reflect the energy and the harmony of nature.

the small market on the other side. It can attract people to walk into the cafe and separate with a neighbor. On the 2nd floor, the gym faces the window side so it can have the natural light. The 3rd floor has a working area in the middle so it can easily support each living unit. The second diagram puts the cafe and the small market to the opposite side. The cafe is easier for residents to walk in and the location of small market is convenient for loading freight. On the 2nd floor, the community area is next to the window so it is more comfortable when residents have activities there. 1st Floor

This rooftop garden includes a dog run area with fence and dog wash area next to it, a vegetable planting area, a garden seating area, a BBQ & fire pit seating area, a place to put compost bins and a storage for the gardening tools. The layout of the vegetable planting area using straight line to cross each other. It not only reflect the crossroad concept, but also gives a new feeling. This place allows the residents to grow vegetable for themselves and can be sold at the small market at first floor. It meets the elderly need of gardening and exercise. The garden seating area using lots of curve lines. It echoes the arch shape in this project and give a classical feeling to the space. It has some artwork display in the garden. It can provide some space for the younger adults to show their works. People can enjoy them when they siting in the garden. The running area provides a big space for the dogs, so they can enjoy outdoors, no matter at daytime or night. The residents can wash their rescued dogs that they are taking care of next to it. The materials and the colors fellow the mood board that created for this project. As a result, this rooftop garden can not only provide the needs of three groups of users, but also respond to the crossroad concept. All of the users can both enjoy and happily using this space.

This project located in the center of downtown Oakland, California. The new boutique hotel will primarily serve business guests and tourists. This eight story hotel will have public spaces on first and second floors, including an interior courtyard on the first level. Also, third to eighth floors will provide extended stay guest rooms and two basement levels for parking.

The Art Party Boutique Hotel

Location and The Building

The site is located in downtown Oakland. This neighborhood has a lot of street art and many different kind of building styles. Around the site, there are many restaurants, coffee shops and bars. BART and bus stations are also close to it, making the location very convenient. As having the same business target user, other hotels in this area may be the threat. Tall buildings surrounding the site, east and north side do not have enough natural light. The noise from Broadway is a problem. The main entrance to this building is on Broadway. People

The patio on the second floor can create more possibilities for activities. However, this area will also create shadows on first floor. No existing pluming on the first and second floor could be a problem. The third to eighth floor are the guest rooms. Every guest room has windows and small patio can provide natural light and airflow. At the same time, the rooms with window facing the street or the courtyard has noise and privacy problems.

Franklin St

Concept Development

Oakland has more artists per capita than any other US city. From music to street art, this city gives a strong artistic vibe to people. When they walk downtown, it is just like being invited to a party full of fun and creative. This “art party”idea becomes the concept for this hotel project. The concept will be expressed by using some elements inspired by Oakland’s art scene, and will have an overall festive atmosphere.

Left to Right Project Location and Mind Map

Concept Statement

The concept for this boutique hotel serving business guests is “art party“. Reflecting on the project location of downtown Oakland, one is reminded of an energetic city full of art waiting for people to explore. When people walk into this hotel, it will be just like joining a big art celebration. Surrounded by modern art pieces, high-end materials, and dramatic lighting, the user will get a sense of fun peaking their interest and inspiring them to open their minds. When they leave the hotel, their brains will be full of new ideas and ready for the next challenge.
