Clocktower Apartment

TYPICAL HOTEL ROOM FLOOR PLAN

Floors 6th-10th follow the same floor plan and layout. The rooms are suite-style and range from 500-900sq.ft. Every corridor has natural lighting to create a sense of place. 11 rooms with 1 double bedroom suite.

11TH FLOOR PLAN

SECTION - 11TH, 12TH AND ROOF The 11th and 12th floors are stacked on top of each other with a skylight cut open on the roof. The opening on the 12th floor also creates a walk-bridge moment within the restaurant.

The 11th floor is the wine bar and a more cozy atmosphere with starry lights on the ceiling mimicking a real night sky. Ambient lighting, biophilla and a floral arrangement at the center of the square shared bar.

HABITAT BOTANICALS

Retail Project 2020 Pop-Up store in West Chelsea displaying an organic skincare brand- Habitat Botanicals. This concept store uses repurposed wood and jute. Reinforcing the importance of being mindful to ones environment. The design approach is modular and clean allowing easy assembly and functionality.

SECTION Jute ropes and elevated shelves help being the feeling of elevation and uplifting within the space.

For this project the concept of elevation ties in two different activity spaces: Retail and Cafe. It also aligns with the mission of Habitat Botanicals.

The Mezzanine is the perfect location for a cafe space as it leads the customers to walk all the way inside the store and view the products.

The cafe follows the same aesthetic as the retail store to keep the design harmonious. The floors and ceilings are kept white and simple as this is a temporary store.
