CONCEPT

Sky & Under is a collective space that aims to promote the concept of wellness through and for nature, enhancing and refreshing the quality of life for the individual, community, and greater environment. We’ve centered our goals around a back-to-basics approach, carrying out a simple lifestyle in harmony with nature. In order to provide resources for this way of life, we've incorporated a nature-inspired color palette, clean materials, as well as organic products. Through this, we hope to demonstrate that wellness can be developed from all things beneath the sky, thus offering the means to a more beautiful, healthy, and sustainable life.

EXTERIOR FACADE

CONTEXT

Here at Ravel, we seek to enrich your space and mind through our hand-crafted textiles, as well as the process of preserving the everlasting beauty of the Navajo weaving tradition.

To further accentuate the ample amounts of comfort and culture embedded in the art, we've taken the classic southwestern styles popular to Arizona, and placed a modern interpretation with an industrial twist.

SITE ANALYSIS

Located in Downtown Phoenix, Arizona, the site selection faces south towards the main road, with its nearest neighbors being a coffee shop, local boutique, and various eateries. The orientation of the building and structure stands south-facing to maximize daylighting.

PROCESS

MATERIAL SELECTION

POLISHED CONCRETE

A seamless long-lasting option; low VOC, low waste; easy to clean for medium to high traffic areas

TADELAKT BEIGE PLASTER

Creates a more organic-like interior to contrast with the heavy industrial shipping container aesthetic

TEAL CERAMIC TILE

Color and shape follows the indigo blues and common geometric motifs in the Navajo culture

BAMBOO

Sustainable alternative to hardwood; low carbon footprint.

RECLAIMED WHITE BARNWOOD

Reclaimed wood; worn-in appearance to create more comfort + organic feel

EMERALD TERRAZZO TILE

Adds a visual pop to the otherwise tame wood materials

The Jenkins Family enjoy reading, watching TV, and cooking together. Therefore, the spaces are designed with many reading areas.
