COMFORT Create an indoor environment that is distraction-free, productive, and soothing. Solutions include design standards and recommendations, thermal and acoustic controllability, and policy implementation covering acoustic and thermal parameters that are known sources of discomfort.

The front elevation of the building includes materials such as brick and cast stone held together by stucco plaster.

Thi`s side of the building also contains wood and glass store front windows.

This is the western faรงade of the building. The exterior of this building also contains brick and stucco. The first story has large glass storefront windows and wooden doors at the enterance.

On the back faรงade is where we find all of the exterior electrical panels. On this side there is brick wall, steel doors and metal louvres. Nearly half of this exterior elevation is made of plaster.

EXISTING STRUCTURE The load bearing wall that divides the space has concrete columns and the open spaces have wood columns.

EDGE CONDITIONS This diagram is to show where the building has voids, masses, enclosures and edges.

Voids: there are voids on each floor and there is also a void where the stairs are. The voids have edges at 90 degrees and form a rectangle. The walls of the voids are made of cmu and stud walls on the shorter sides.

Mass: the masses are located in larger areas of the space. There is three masses on the second floor an two on the third floor.

Enclosure or edge: these conditions intend to divide the space and provide designated spaces for certain objects. These are found throughout the space.

EXISTING MEP This is a callout of exsisting features like electrical, plumbing and hvac.

The hvac system is in the back section of the building along the back corner of the wall and the plumbing runs along the south wall.

12

CIRCULATION The load bearing wall that divides the space has concrete columns and the open spaces have wood columns.

ZONING This diagram show us what types of spaces are zoned around the

site. The spaces are divided into public zones, (semi) private zones, and service areas. These areas contain a number of different places range anywhere from resteraunts, to bars, to small touristy stores.

13

CONCEPT INSPIRATION BOARD Everyone of these image closely ties to our concept and is unique in its own way. These images show our concept through materiality, feeling, and color. Our group chose these images to show our concept “alone together� through ideas of community, diversity, and wellbeing. For example, the magnified image of red blood cells represents the way squares of savannah make up a community just like the grouping of cells makes a whole. The ray of sunshine representing wellbeing and the nature of savannah. Some of the other images show also depict things like wellbeing and sustainabilty through materiality and furniture that practice ergonomics.

14

“ ALONE TOGETHER” “GATHERING PEOPLE FROM DIVERSE AREAS OF WORK MAKING ONE COMMUNITY, COMPARABLE TO THE MANY SQUARES OF SAVANNAH, WHICH MAKE UP THE HISTORIC DISTRICT” 15

DETAILED CONCEPT Inspired by the originality and positive vision of the client, a design blending of raw and sophisticated materials, spacious functional comfort along with an organizational flow is created. This unique and universally designed environment acts as a sense of togetherness, gathering people from different areas of work making one community, similar to the many squares of savannah, which make up the historic district. The key influence of this concept is to improve upon the eminence of the interior atmosphere. The shared workspace has many elements of a healthy lifestyle which helps produce a sense of wellness and relaxation. The vibrant colors along with the materials and textures compliment the client while creating a warm and welcoming environment. A great amount of natural light is able to penetrate through the large windows of the historic building, also allowing an extraordinary view of Franklin Ward. Sustainability, along with health and ease, plays a big part in the entire user experience.

TYTHINGS SQUARE “TRUST LOTS”

THE SAVANNAH WARD CONCEPT

“ALONE TOGETHER” CONCEPT

DIAGRAM SHOWING THE LAYOUT OF A SAVANNAH WARD. IT CONSISTS OF “TRUST LOTS”, A SQUARE, AND TYTHINGS. THE TRUST LOTS ARE INTENDED FOR LARGE PUBLIC BUILDINGS, THE TYTHINGS ARE AREAS FOR RESIDENTIAL OR COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS, AND THE SQUARE, WHICH WAS ORIGINALLY USED FOR MILITARY EXERSICE, IS NOW A PLACE FOR RELAXATION.

THE SAVANNAH SQUARE WILL REPRESENT THE AREA FOR SHARED SPACES WITHIN THE OFFICE, THIS IS WHERE CO-WORKERS CAN MEET UP FOR A CUP OF COFFEE, HOP ON A COMPUTER STATION, OR SEE EACH OTHER AT THE PRINTING AREA.

THESE CONCEPTS ARE REFLECTED IN THE ORGANIZATIONAL LAYOUT OF THE SPACE AS WELL AS THE ZONING

SCHEMATIC DESIGN PROCESS This phase is an overview of the process for design developement and concept application. Throughout this phase we worked on applying our concept in every aspect including the plan, the furniture, materials, and finishes. A large part of this portion of process is about concept application for different aspects of the floor plan for Enerspace through a numbe perspectives or renderings.

BUBBLE/ BLOCK DIAGRAMS ADJACENCY DIAGRAM This diagram best describes the importance of the adjacencies of each room to the other.

The co-working spaces, private offices, and cubicles are major adjacencies to many of the other spaces such as the conference rooms, copy and supply room, and the coffee station.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT This phase consists mainly of the concept application, the plan alayisis, the final purniture plans, materials and finishes, chosen furniture, as well as perspectives of the space. The importance of this section is to show how the concept was applied to the design, and how our design solutions addressed each issue and how it will benefit the workers. The furniture chosen along with the materials, also play a huge part in this solution.

34

CONCEPT APPLICATION

We applied aspect throughout our floor plan and our reflected ceiling plan in a few different ways. In the floor plan our concept can be seen in the different public, private and shared spaces like a Savannah square. Not only do these areas exemplify the squares but they are areas that can be used privately or shared with other giving the space the feeling of “Alone Together.” We also applied our concept to the reflected ceiling plan in which we laid our ceiling plan out we went towards very organic flowing shapes. We did this to portray the nature of Savannah. For example the organic shapes of the dropped ceilings represent the many trees of savannah covered in moss. We not only thought of the organic shapes but we also intended for the dropped ceilings with lighting fixtures to represent the way sunlight shines through those beautiful Savannah Oak Trees. The trees have been a huge part of Savannah ever since the planted them in the Early 19th Century, hence the nickname savannah earned “the Forest City” so we wanted to include this in our ceiling.

MATERIALS AND FINISHES MATERIALS AND FINISHES THE MATERIALS THAT WE PICKED FOR THE ENERSPACE OFFICE WERE CHOSEN BASED ON THE WELL BEING AND LEED STANDARDS. IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE CHOSE SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS AND FINISHES THAT WERE HEALTY FOR THE BUILDINGS USERS. WE ALSO TOOK THINGS LIKE ACOUSTICS AND LIGHTING INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN WE WERE CHOOSING THESE MATERIALS. BASED UPON THE WELL BEING STANDARD WE CHOSE MATERIALS LIKE WHEATBOARD, KIERI, CORK, PET BOTTLES, AND CERTIFIED LOCALLY SOURCED WOOD. WE USED GLASS PARTITIONS IN PLACES THAT BLOCKED WINDOWS BECAUSE WE WANTED TO SPREAD THE DAYLIGHT DEEP INTO THE BUILDING TO MAKE A HEALTHIER OFFICE SPACE. AS FOR COLOR, WE STUCK WITH THE COMPANYS COLORS FOR THE MOST PART, WHICH ARE RED AND ORANGE. FOR OUR TEAM WE THOUGHT THAT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO KEEP THESE COLORS BECAUSE THEY REPRESENT HAPPINESS AND RADIATE WARMTH THROUGH ENERGY AND CHEERFULNESS. RED IS ENERGIZING AND PROMOTES AMBITION AND DETERMINATION WHILE ORANGE RELATES TO OUR GUT INSTINCTS. THE COLOR ORANGE IS OPTIMISTIC AND UPLIFTING AS IT REJUVINATES THE SPIRIT. HOWEVER, WE DID INCORPORATE SOME POPS OF OTHER COLORS LIKE YELLOW AND GREEN. WE ALSO USED LIGHT COLORED FINISHES TO REFLECT NATURAL LIGHT THROUGH THE SPACE. WE PLACED GREENWALLS AND PLANTS AROUND THE OFFICE TO PROMOTE WELL BEING THROUGH NATURE. THE IMPORTANCE OF GREENERY IS UNBELIVABLE AND CAN GREATLY IMPACT THE HEALTH AND OVERALL MOOD OF THE USERS. 55
