NADIA COLQUIETT
I value passionate, forward thinking people and meaningful work that creates memorable places. I believe that great design has the potential to dramatically change the way humans interact with each other and our earth. I aspire to create spaces that attract, excite, and interact with the user in ways that are simultaneously functional, beautiful, and environmentally & socially responsible. I am fascinated by new challenges. Let’s discover together.

Blacksburg Children’s Museum Institutional Blacksburg, Virginia
A collaboration with Carson Owen & Katelyn Merrill The Blacksburg Children’s Museum needed a major overhaul to look, feel, and act like children’s museum rather than a daycare. The design team made three goals for this local project based on regular interaction with our clients. To equally engage children and their guardians, because learning should happen at every age. To inspire all users to be stewards of their environment and community through biophilic features and materials. To create a space that reacts to the user as they move through it and provide new, surprising experiences on a choreographed path. All design features were created to be easily moved or recreated should the museum move to a larger location. As a team, we all had a hand in nearly every aspect of the design process from research to implementation. However, my primary role in the team was to research ways of learning for adults and children, design wayfinding/graphics and develop multifunctional built objects in the form of custom partitions.

VEA Rehabilitation Spa & Residence Healthcare & Residential Stowe, Vermont
Located in Stowe, Vermont at the base of the state’s highest mountain lies VEA. The word “vea” means path or the true and right way in Latin. Inspired by the overlapping lines of Mount Mansfield’s pathways and their similarity to the human nerve, elements of the spa will wrap users in a natural, dynamic pattern. Through this, the space will encourage the clarity, strength, and energy necessary for the mental, emotional, and physical rehabilitation each Multiple Sclerosis patient is striving to attain.
