Each hotel room has two scenes. The daytime scene is lighter and brighter. After the sun goes down, the colored lights can turn on to change the mood. There is a dropped seating area in each room to separate sleeping from lounging space. Murphy beds can fold into the wall for optimum use of space.

Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital A SPACE TO INSPIRE MINDS. TO FORGET ABOUT THE NEGATIVE ASPECTS OF WHERE PEOPLE ARE AND MAKE IT POSITIVE. TO IGNITE HOPE AND MOTIVATION, BECAUSE HOPE BETTERS THE CHANCES OF WELLNESS.
Waiting areas were designed with bright colors, fun patterns, and varieties of furniture from “dune�. PEOPLE TEACHING PEOPLE Dropped ceilings were placed in the high traffic areas where doctors, researchers, and patients can collaborate, updating each other on hospital happenings.

Global Advocates Offices AS AN ENVIRONMENTAL LAW OFFICE, GLOBAL ADVOCATES REVAMPED THEIR IMAGE WITH A NEW MORAL OF HAVING NOTHING TO HIDE. “TRANSPARENCY” WAS THE BASE CONCEPT FOR BOTH THE PHYSICAL AND MENTAL DESIGN.
Open office plans allow employee collaboration, and free flow through the spaces. In a physical transparency, a rough diamond shape grounds the company and suggests feelings of empowerment and success. Curving transparent ribs line the core’s office windows to give the space a playful, intriguing feel.

Senior Co-Housing THE CO-HOUSING PROJECT IS BASED ON A GROUP OF SENIOR ARTISTS WHO HAVE SPECIFIED A SETTING THAT WOULD BRING THEIR COMMUNITY TOGETHER WHERE THEY COULD BE INSPIRED, CREATIVE, AND CONTINUE THEIR ACTIVE LIVES TOGETHER.
Most of the areas throughout the 2 buildings have an open floor plan to allow residents to converse from room to room. A variety of spaces were provided to promote healthy lives, and a sense of community. These spaces include an art studio, library, full gym, and a large community kitchen with seating for 50.

Victoria Newbury Spa VICTORIA IS A HEALTH AND WELLNESS SPA LOCATED IN THE HEART OF BOSTON, MA ON NEWBURY STREET. THE DESIGN CONCEPT WAS DERIVED FROM RESEARCHING BOSTON’S VICTORIAN ARCHITECTURE. THE FLOOR PLANS MIMIC THOSE FOUND IN VICTORIAN HOMES. PATTERNING & TEXTURES OF MATERIALS FROM THESE HOMES WERE ALSO INCORPORATED INTO THE SPA’S OVERALL FEEL.
The color palette chosen was taken from common house coloring, and toned down to give a calm, soothing effect and promote relaxation. Listening to the waterfall on the back wall of the lounge also provides a soothing soundtrack.

SoPhi’s Restaurant THE MOMENT IN TIME WHEN A TRAIN APPLIES ITS BRAKES AND EVERYTHING JOLTS FORWARDS. SoPhi’s RESTAURANT IS BASED OFF OF THE PHI PHENOMENON, “APPARENT MOTION RESULTING FROM AN ORDERLY SEQUENCE OF STIMULI WITHOUT ANY ACTUAL MOTION BEING PRESENTED TO THE EYE”
The phi phenomenon can be seen in the colored windows which simulates a train passing by at high speed. Also, the lights as well as the glass dividers are at an angle to feel as though their swinging motion in the train is paused.

Meditation Space
STUDIO I- THE PROJECT REQUIRED A PRESERVATION OF A CUBE ESSENCE. BY USING NEGATIVE SPACE, IT SHAPED A DETAILED INTERIOR. PRIVATE MEDITATION CUBES SURROUNDING THE OPENING ON THE SECOND FLOOR DRAWS IN LIGHT TO THE ULTIMATE MEDITATION SPOT.
Hierarchy was determined by the amount of detail surrounding the space. The central meditation area has the most detail, with inspiration from spanish and islamic architecture.
