MYAH EMILY HATFIELD 2020-2022
ABOUT MYAH I’m Myah Hatfield, a senior in interior design at Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston, Massachusetts. I am from mid-coast Maine and grew up in an artistic and musical family. I love sketching design ideas and find I can show my ideas through that process better. I have been designing and taking on projects from a young age, whether it was drawing ideas of a dream house or building a lofted space in my house. My favorite part of design is how people interact with it. I love how object placement, color, size, or ceiling height can change a space completely. I always want to design for human comfort and experience.

OFFICE FOR MUSIC MEDIA CLIENT
TRAX The assignment gave us each a client for in different tech industries. We chose the music company to create an offic space for. The office was located on the 19th floor of 52 State Street in downtown Boston. The companies requests included mostly enclosed working areas, aswell as a range of areas away from the dest to work at. We chose to focus on the energy of the space to choose locations of breakout areas verusue heads down work. The final design created two paths of circulation one in the quiet zone around the core of the building and one around the exterior in the louder more energetic break out areas. The areas in the space helps the cleints work their best in the environment they perfere for the task at hand. Each element of the office has a conection to the energy form the wave structured ceiling to the colors and materials chosed for each room. TRAX ties together veriaty and cohision in this office design.
The Concept The concept of TRAX is to create a diverse experience within the office through different energy levels. Starting from core of the building the energy will build as you move towards the windows. Each part of the office will be designed with different materials, textures, and lighting according to the appropriate energy level of that specific area. The ceiling and use of white walls will act as a main connecting element throughout the office and are consistent while still having context to the energy level. Overall TRAX will be designed to help the users productivity and energy levels during all tasks throughout the day.
ENERGY LEVELS IN THE OFFICE In the planing of the space, the energies were a leading factor of adjacencies. The center core of the building houses the calm low trafic areas such as lockers, quiet work, and mechanical. The middle rign has the primay working areas with access to louder touchdown and cafe areas along the outer ring of the building. Lighting and materials in the space follow the same energies as each assigned zone.

A MIXED USE RESIDENCE ON BEACON HILL
VISTA BEACON The first assignment was to create a mixed use space with public shops and amenities for the residents on the first floor of the building. We were able to pick the shops that we added based off of our research of the demographic and area. For my project I included a cafe with outdoor seating, a small book store connected to the cafe, and a flower shop for events as well as a flower stand in the lobby for everyday purchases. The second part of the assignment was to create a client backstory and design an apartment to fit their needs and life stlye. For both the ammenities and residences areas, my focus was on mixing the historical architecture and details of Beacon Hill with new modern furniture pieces and designs.
The Concept The concept of my mix-use residential building was to create a space that acts as a gateway from the historic Beacon Hill to the modern city. This was be achieved through light washes of color and modern furniture in a space with classic casework and details. The organization of the space also reflected the mix of old and new by creating small clustered area in the front of the building and open up as you get closer to the back, facing the river. This mimiced the tighter clusters in the older parts of the city such as Beacon Hill and the taller brighter modern parts of the city.
PLAN PROGRESSION AND DIAGRAMS When planning the diagrams I wanted to separate the public and more private areas for residents. By having the lobby act as security to the residents areas of the building. I was also thinking about my concept and wanting to make clustered and open spaces throughout. The public area in the front of the building is open with tall ceilings but the added darker color on the walls and ceiling create an intimate sense to the space.

DETAILS These sketches are of the cafe and book store area. I was playing with different ways to separate the space without having it fully walled off. I was also looking at ways to add the flowers in to the design in the bottom sketches but decided It was to much and was slipping to far from my concept for the space. The detail profiles shown are of the custom wainscoting and molding that is showcased throughout the space, and featured in the ceiling coffers in most rooms.

DETAILS AND SECTIONS The plan for the amenities and retail section of the 170 Charles St. building separates the public from the more private amenities for residents which can be shown in the circulation diagram. The floor plan, moving back in to the space, becomes less clustered and opens up in to the music area. The lobby offers a grab and go floral stand to add a convenience to an everyday luxury. The combined cafe and bookstore offers outdoor seating in the court yard. The florist shop and the cafe have access to the back door for deliveries. The clustered work spaces and semi clustered lounge is then compressed in the hall to open fully in the music and kitchen area. The finish plan helped me to see how the materials create a really cohesive space. The pebble tarrazo acts as an abstracted flower petal pattern that leads you from the entry and flower stand back to the flower shop and consulting office in the back. The cafe and book store are the only part of the public section with wood flooring making the area warer and inviting from a cool tones lobby.

APARTMENT 306
ABOUT THE CLIENT Julie and James are a working couple ages 35 and 37 who met 5 years ago on a delayed flight from London to South Africa where they were both traveling for work. They have spent their pre-Covid years working around the world with James’ job with doctors without border, and Julie has been writing blogs and short stories throughout their travels. James was hired by Mass General Hospital at the beginning of 2020 after his 5-year contract with Doctors Without Boarders and the two are planning on settling down and excited to have found an apartment so close to James’ work but also not somewhere that is away from downtown. Now that they are living in Boston full-time, they have adopted a corgi that they named Romie. They are happy to be able to settle into an apartment andreally make it feel like home. Their style was influenced by their travels, but Julie wants a more minimal place to be in while she writes at home. Elements and memories of their travels are very important to them but now that they are settling down, they are also excited to experience a more authentic Boston style.
THE CONCEPT The concept of the two bedroom apartment for James and Julie will be to create a calm place to escape from the business of the city. The space will be inviting, warm, sophisticated, and personalized. By having the living room be the focal point when entering the space, it gives an immediate scene of comfort and draws you into the home. There will be multiple built-in shelves to showcase their collected items that will add an additional layer that at home feeling. Overall, the special organization will create areas separating private, common, and work.
PLANING AND DIAGRAMS With the program we were given, I wanted to add an office for Julie, as she will be working from home, pandemic or not. In the first set I played around with the entry and where the office was placed. In the second set I was more sure of the lay out so I made a fictional diagram. The most important part of the second bubble to me was the location of the office to separate work and home life.

MATERIALS For the materials, I wanted to keep a neutral warm pallet. The shades of peach and orange are spread throughout the space and are contrasted with dark wood accents. The pops of bright colors and tiles are placed throughout the space to add a stimulating energy. There are also contrasting colors in the primary bath. The cool green and black create an oasis with in the apartment. Over all the materials are soft, warm, and inviting.
