Occupancy Considerations

The occupancy loads for this building reveal a design focused on accommodating a diverse range of activities and ensuring safety. Each floor's occupancy figures are strategically calculated to meet code requirements while allowing flexibility for various uses. The distribution of occupants across different spaces, including classrooms, labs, and collaborative areas, ensures a balance between educational functions and safety protocols. The building is designed with ample capacity to support the expected flow of students, faculty, and staff, with clearly defined pathways and egress routes to facilitate smooth transitions during daily operations and in emergencies. This careful planning reflects a commitment to safety, accessibility, and efficient use of space.

Research Highlights

Research for this project focused on combining sustainability with innovative educational design, leading to the implementation of mass timber construction, which offers a low-carbon alternative to traditional building materials. This approach aligns with the goal of reducing the environmental impact of construction projects while promoting the use of renewable resources.

The research delved into modern educational trends, recognizing that contemporary students thrive in flexible and technologyintegrated environments. This led to the incorporation of advanced technology infrastructure, ensuring high-speed internet access, ample power outlets, and state-of-the-art multimedia facilities.

In-depth interviews with faculty and students revealed the need for collaborative spaces, inspiring the design to feature flexible classroom layouts, open areas for group projects, and private study pods. The project also included comprehensive acoustical analysis, leading to sound-insulated classrooms and workspaces to enhance focus and productivity.

Daylighting was a key considerations, with the design ensuring ample natural light through large windows. Additionally, safety protocols were integrated, with clear evacuation routes, accessible pathways, and designated safety zones for emergency situations.

The research culminated in a design that addresses the demands of a modern educational setting while embracing sustainable construction practices, fostering a dynamic and eco-friendly learning environment.

Hardeman Building

Commercial Renovation Project, SFA 2023

Project Considerations

Historic building, restoring existing woodwork, to be a short-term rental or long-term rental in the future.

Concept: Classically Current

This design complements and preserves the historical structure while giving it functional and engaging aspects to make the space inviting and classically current. The design inspiration for the Hardeman building stems from the early twentieth-century classic paintings and vintage accessories that highlight one’s love for travel. We selected navy blue as the accent color to bring cohesiveness throughout the design and complement the pronounced casings and crown molding of the existing space.

Existing Floor Plan

Concept: Eucalyptus Rainbow Tree

This design showcases a playful and energetic feel within the space based on the mimicry of the multi-hued appearance of the rainbow eucalyptus trees. The confluence of vibrant furniture finishes and polished concrete flooring creates a contrast that we see everyday within nature. The repetition of the multi-hued appearance specified for some of the walls of this space embraces the zestful side of life, while the polished concrete look exhibits the organic side.

Keaton Residence

Residential Renovation Project, HCC 2021

Project Considerations

Multigenerational household, sustainability, and wellness. Outdoor spaces, edible garden, and landscape design to reduce irrigation need.

The Keaton’s awareness about our planet’s deteriorating health has been central in their decision-making process for many years. Now, with a pandemic overshadowing our everyday lives and limiting time away from home, I want to ensure the Keaton’s dwelling provides respite. The composition will convey a sense of serenity for the active family and support their health and wellness with the use of organic patterns and shapes, sustainable and healthy materials, outdoor integration and accessible space planning. Inspired by the intricate structure of a bird’s nest, layered elements and soft cellulosic fibers to mimic nesting and provide a sense ofcomfort. As a bird builds its nest from nearby resources, we will utilize materials that support Cradle-to-Cradle principles and maximize local resources.

Project Software

AutoCad, SketchUp, Enscape

Concept: Contemporary Palm Springs

Drawing inspiration from the iconic Palm Springs desert landscape, the design revolves around three core principles: Modern Elegance, Desert Serenity, and Functional Luxury. A shed roof and wood planks on the ceiling accentuate the contemporary character. Natural textures and earthy tones, inspired by the desert landscape, evoke a sense of calm and tranquility, making the pool house a haven of relaxation. Built-in elements enhance storage while maintaing a sleek, uncluttered look. The pool house is now a place to escape city life, immerse in tranquility, and bask in the warmth of contemporary luxury.

Heights Townhouse

Hand Rendering Project, HCC 2021

Low-maintenance, efficiency, modern, moody, pets

Concept: Transportation

Drawing inspiration from the world of luxury automobiles and the principles of modern design, the interior concept for the Bennett’s townhouse is a masterful blend of sophistication and warmth. Curvaceous forms subtly guide occupants towards focal points, instilling a sense of invitation within the space. Opulent color palettes, reminiscent of lustrous automotive finishes, take center stage in the kitchen, enhancing its visual appeal.The design promotes connection with carefully curated finishes while materials with high acoustical value preserve the essential privacy that a home should provide even in a busy area.

Pétale Opale Pendant

Lamp Model Project, SFA 2022

Based on the research of iconic lighting designers Max Ingrand and Carlo Nason and the Art Nouveau style, the Pétale Opale pendant luminaire embraces modern materials and organic forms. The translucent, frosted, and iridescent acrylic petals generate dynamic and soft illumination, ideal for accentuating spaces. Pétale Opale is lightweight, durable, and energy-efficient. The vintage-inspired LED lamp has a 15,000-hour lifespan and delivers 450 lumens with 2200 Kelvin.

During the shortlived Art Nouveau period, designers sought to create a “new style” opposite the classical teachings of the École des Beaux-Arts. Art Nouveau designers embraced modern materials and organic ornamentation and rejected straight lines.

Ingrand trained as an interior designer, and Nason grew up around a family of renowned Murano glassmakers. Although they rose to prominence in different generations, both designers were inspired by modern and organic forms and enjoyed experimenting with new styles, technologies, and materials.
