The Crossroads Community

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.

This project inspired by crossroads, where the magical convergence happens. This community not only bonds seniors, students and rescued dogs together, but also, reflecting on the project location of San Francisco, the city has a harmonious and balanced relationship between old and new. 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.

Salvador Dali Artist Studio

This studio located in an urban area. The main user of this space is a young couple who working in artistic areas. They admire Salvador Dali and expected to use him as an inspiration for their living loft. This studio used him as the main concept to created layout, chose the color palette and applied to materials and furniture. The whole vibe fits the user expect and the location.

This studio was inspired by the elements and concepts that Salvador Dali used in his painting. The layout of this studio has multi-height of layers to define different functional spaces. They connected each other with straight and curved lines. It just like when Salvador Dali did the thinking was layer over layer and between reality and dreams. Also, the arch shape opening in this studio to represent the Aesthetes and classical style of Salvador Dali. The lighting under the floor created a floating feeling and added an unreal feeling to this space. It has skylight on top, so the loft can fulled of natural light. The furniture and the color palette for this studio were inspired from Dali’s famous painting: The Persistence of Memory, Swans Reflecting Elephants, The Temptation of St. Anthony and Galatea of the Spheres.

The Art Party Boutique Hotel

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 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.
