Hacienda Ama’Ana Eco-Resort and Spa

A study in sustainable building practices in hospitality design. The project takes place in the mountains of Puerto Rico, and fuses an Eco-Resort with a shaded coffee plantation. The design of the lodge, villas and bungalows take inspiration from the native Taino dwellings and the vegetation and landscape that surrounds it. The intention of the project is to create as little negative impact on the environment it finds itself while creating maximum mental and spiritual impact on the people that visit it. The Lodge was situated nearest to the road access in the most sparsely vegetated area of the mountain minimizing the need to remove trees and disrupt the ecosystem. The roof was designed to combine solar panels and a water catchment system to take full advantage of the naturally provided resources available on a tropical island. The Villas form part of the hill-side, half bermed and partial green roofs incorporate them into the landscape and, along with the passive ventilation design, allow the suites to remain cool on even the warmest of nights. The bungalows are minimalist and secluded, scattered within the shaded coffee plantation itself, and only accessible through a network of small trails, which will appeal to visitors looking to get away from it all. All materials considered are renewable and locally sourced as well as inspiring. Other fruit and vegetables can be grown along with the coffee to help feed restaurant patrons and an educational component will attract school aged children on field trips and internal tourism as well. These local visitors can learn about the coffee industry, agricultural as well as economic components. Most of all they can learn about sustainability and its importance to the future of our species, and how being ecologically responsible doesn’t not mean giving up our way of life, only modifying it for the better.

Puerto Rico is a commonwealth territory of the United States of America located in the Caribbean sea, about a thousand miles south of Florida. Originally populated by the native and peace loving Taíno people, claimed by Spain for over 400 years, home to sub-Saharan African cultures originally brought in as slaves, Puerto Rico has a rich cultural and ethnic history that still plays an important role in every day life in this country. Any visitor to the island today will find warm, friendly and outgoing people who speak both Spanish and English (to varying degrees), rich historic sites (such as world heritage San Felipe del Morro Fort), amazing beaches, tropical rain forests and beautifully lush green mountains. It is among these mountains in the center of the island that you will find Hacienda Ama’ana. A quick 40 minute drive from San Juan (the island’s capital on the north coast) will transport you to a cool breezy oasis away from the tropical heat of the city. Winding country roads up the mountain offer a new view with every turn leading to our very own vista point, from which it is possible on a clear day to see both the north and south coast of the island beyond the expanses of rich green mountainside. Hacienda Ama’ana is a working sustainable coffee plantation, as well as an Ecolodge and home of two exquisite restaurants popular with natives and tourists alike for the views as well as the delicious fare. The hotel and hacienda have both been built to blend into the mountain side, as well as to create as little negative impact on its natural surroundings as possible. From the organic forms and spaces of the main building and the roof gardens of the villas nestled into the mountain side, to the picturesque bungalows scattered in the forest in our shaded coffee plantation reminiscent of the native Taíno residences called Bohios, this place is the sigh of relief you didn’t know you were holding. Walk into the lobby to panoramic views of the mountains all the way to the south shore. While there, schedule an appointment for one of our indulgent natural spa treatments, many of which use ingredients fresh from our very own hacienda. Follow the delicious aromas up one floor to our fine dinning restaurant “Bure’n” for international cuisine with a Caribbean twist. Or cross the walk way to “Kahve” for a more casual dining experience. Needless to say, you must try some of our artisanal coffee! Full-bodied, rich and complex, puertorrican blends are sought after by coffee enthusiasts all over the world. One sip and you will understand why the coffee gown on this island has been the favorite of the Vatican for years and considered one of the three best coffees in the world. Down stairs from the lobby, take a refreshing dip in our pool. Swim up to the bar and enjoy one of our signature tropical cocktails. Or meet new people at our activities and recreation center where you can sign up for one of a number of island excursion or classes and learn (among other things) about coffee processing. Depending on the time of year, you may even get to pick some coffee yourself! After an exciting day of adventure, stop by our library and borrow a book to take back to your room. There is no such thing as a bad view from any of our villas, each of which have their own private balcony. For the more adventurous, or those seeking a bit of solitude, you may choose to call one of our bungalows home during your stay. There you will be surrounded by old growth forest as well as the shade loving coffee trees planted beneath. The night forest will sing you to sleep with the sounds of crickets and the distinct call of the Coqui. You may think it is a bird singing, but its actually a tiny tree frog ringing its own name through the night, symbol of national pride in Puerto Rico. Hacienda Ama’ana is definitely not your typical resort. It is a personal and inspiring getaway to all who visit. Come experience it for yourself, and we hope to see you soon!

Interroang Advertising Agency

Interrobang is an Advertising agency who is relocating their offices to 180 Montgomery St. San Francisco, CA. Their company philosophy is “to exceed expectations through verbal and visual freshness”. The approach taken for their space was to create a relaxing, comfortable environment that promotes creativity and productiveness. The curves and volumes of the design create unexpected spaces that will help employees “think outside the box.” The company had a very specific program they wished to achieve without resulting in a work place that felt regimented. It was also imperative to provide a space for casual gatherings or “brain storming” where employees could explore new concepts, share ideas and facilitate a synergy of creativity that would help the company produce the best for their clients. The design incorporates primarily neutral and textured surfaces with dappled soothing lighting and strategically placed punches of invigorating color and pattern. The space planning promotes chance encounters and spontaneous conversations that should lead to a high level of cooperation and collaboration between the people working there.

Avocado Restaurant & Louge

Avocado is a warm and inviting restaurant and lounge next to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art that serves fresh and simple Californian-Mexican cuisine. It caters to museum visitors and hip south of market residents alike. The restaurant provides out door and indoor dinning, a lounge, as well as two private spaces that can be reserved for gatherings. Inspired by the avocado fruit, the design of the restaurant is a study in contrasts: hard and soft, smooth and rough, light and rich. Natural finishes and organic shapes coexist with modern clean lines and surprising twists. The space created is inviting and comfortable, as well as artistic and vibrant. It also features many instances of â&#x20AC;&#x153;up-cyclingâ&#x20AC;? in the form of sculptures, lighting fixtures and the architecture itself. One of the main features of the restaurant will be the murals painted on the two story tall focal wall. Both the ever changing murals and displaying the act of painting them will create a sense of constant renewal of the space. Periodically, patrons will be treated to a new mural, a work in progress, or even commissioned artist themselves at work creating a new vision. Its close association with the museum will also help make this popular and public form of art more accessible to art enthusiasts as well as giving street art its much deserved place adjacent to other forms of modern expression.

Monticelli Residence Living Room, Dinning Room, Den & Master Suite

The couple wanted a spacious elegant home on their recently purchase lot in Marin County. Their taste leans towards a classic look with Asian influenced furniture and luxurious fabrics in rich natural colors. The spaces to be considered were a formal living room, an accommodating dining room, a cozy library/den and a relaxing and elegant master suite. The concept for this space is “Elegant Nest.” A delicate egg resting in a silk lined jewelry box, safe and comfortable in rich and stunning luxury. Inspired by Chinoiserie textiles and wall coverings, this will be a contemporary reinterpretation of the opulence of 1920’s Shanghai with a cosmopolitan twist. Intricate latticework details, hand painted wall coverings, beautiful silks in warm rich tones and modern interpretation of classic furniture pieces will envelop this family in comfort and luxury. The den and the formal living room were conceptualized as a gentleman’s library and a lady’s parlor respectively, the dinning room a opulent entertaining space. The master suite is the couple’s personal retreat. Most of the furniture used are Hollywood regency inspired antiques, which help create the classic established and luxurious feeling the client wished for while keeping the design fresh and modern.

The Artist in Residence Boutique Hotel and Studio Space

The Artist in Residence: Hotel and Studio Space will change the way we experience art on a variety of levels: a museum you can “live” in, direct contact with artists, learning about their craft, becoming an artist yourself. Experiencing what the world could look like through the eyes of an artist. The lower levels of the building are mostly dedicated to public art studios where classes are offered to the community. The upper levels consist primarily of comfortable and unique hotel suites. The “Artist in Residence” concept comes to play when contemporary artists are invited to stay at the hotel and they will “pay” for their lodgings in the form of original art pieces and by offering classes or conferences in the studios. The hotel this way acquires original art which is exhibited in different public spaces and in the hotel suites themselves. Guests are welcome to stay at the hotel and enjoy “living with” these unique art pieces during their stay. Staying at the hotel makes you an instant “Patron of the Arts,” as funds raised are used to run the studios below. The building also houses a restaurant space with different levels of dining experience. From casual, to lounge, to fine dining and an events space for the enjoyment of hotel and studio guests as well as locals. The studio, hotel, and restaurants are all inter-connected, in a cohesive and stimulating experience for all visitors of the establishment. The project is located 200 6th street on Howard, in the South of Market district of San Francisco. Formerly the Hugo Hotel, the building is notable for the art installation called “Defenestration” by Brian Goggin which features random pieces of furniture seemingly jumping out of the building’s windows and running along its walls.

Bellow: Detail of “Defenestration” by Brian Goggin Opposite: Eye-glass Chandelier by Stewart Haygarth

Concept Development:

The concept of the design stems from the term “ostranenie” which refers to the act of defamiliarization or estrangement, to make strange the familiar. It serves as a means to force individuals to experience the everyday and ordinary in new ways through the use of poetic or artistic language. It creates a shift in the normal, anticipated form of perception and by doing so reveals the world anew. It is a removal of a known quantity from its traditional context in order to provoke a rethinking of its purpose. Within this context, the concept of The Artist in Residence is “The Artist’s Eye”. It focuses on showcasing the beauty in everyday things and awakening a sense of wonder, curiosity and whimsy in the spectator. The abstract idea of ostrenenie will be translated into a spatial relationship which will challenge the user’s expectations and jar their sensibilities. One way in which this notion will be manifested physically is through the use of unusual or unexpected perspectives and sight lines. Experiencing typical motions and contrivances of a building/shelter/ gathering place from a different perspective will challenge the user to appreciate form in and of its self and not just within its content or meaning. Another strategy will be the re-appropriation of common materials and objects in likewise unusual and unexpected ways. The design proposes to tease the viewer into acknowledging our own creative potential and embarking on a new path of discovery. A singular such encounter should reverberate or ripple into a wider and more encompassing understanding of the nature of creativity and how it can refresh our perception of the world. In a more general sense, the design will be modern and whimsical, with a very slight nod to the Victorian design of the building. Stewart Haygarth is the British artist that created the stunning chandelier pictured here. His work encompasses an aspect of the concept discussed. He takes very ordinary found objects we are familiar with and takes them out of context to the point where we are forced to re-examine their form, function and beauty, rediscovering its potential. He has created many such works, in this particular example he has appropriated thousand of eye glass lenses to create the diaphanous cloud like chandelier pictured here.

Hotel Lobby:

The Hotel Lobby was designed to be the main entrance point of the project from which users will be drawn through the building in a series of discoveries and delights. It houses the hotel reception desk/concierge where guests will check in and shares its seating with the CafĂŠ. Reminiscent of an over-scaled ceiling medallion, the ceiling ripples out from a central keyhole thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been carved out to the second floor where the lounge is located. From center spills a monumental glass installation by British artist Stewart Haygarth. Like many things in the hotel, the piece warrants a closer look, where you can discover it is composed of thousands of eyeglass lenses. One of the feature pieces of the room is an animate Victorian chair, stretched out and curving through the space and creating various seating arrangements in its wake.

Hotel Suite:

UP DN

The Guest Rooms at The Artist in Residence are meant to feel exactly so: like artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residences. The design is warm and modern, mostly neutral in colors but rich in textures. The rooms display a vast variety of art without overwhelming the true purpose of a hotel suite: the comfort of the guest. There are many different types of rooms available, from more spacious suites to compact studio apartment layouts, to hostel style rooms with multiple twin sized beds. The hotel presents a large diversity of accommodations at different price points to encourage a large diversity of guests that will enrich the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experience.

Fine Dining:

The Fine Dining Restaurant is a unique dining experience that plays on contrast and perception through the use of lighting and reflections. The space is arranged to make every table seem exclusive and semi-private. Furnishings are somewhat minimal to emphasize two main things: the experience of walking across an infinite void and the food being served on the table.

One of the many pubic meeting places throughout the building, this space takes advantage of the basementâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 16â&#x20AC;&#x2122; ceiling height to create an alternate space above, once again challenging the userâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perspective. Upon entering the hallway, visitors may notice the rippling ceiling above and think it reminiscent of the ceiling in the lobby of the hotel. But as they travel down the hallway the space will expand before them into a round room and the ceiling will dip down to create a small mezzanine. The space will be accessible via two partially enclosed ladders, like a modern tree house. Once up the ladder there are two types of surfaces to sit or lounge on, tiered seating or netting. The space can be used for informal gatherings or as a meet up point, for taking a break from working at the art studios, a place to sit with your book or laptop, or a place to take a quick nap. Below, the space can no longer considered hallway. It is part gallery part sitting room, the seating composed of sculptural work being created right in front of you.

6. 3.

Modular Studio Building Device:

When conceptualizing the public spaces of the Art Studio emphasis was placed on designing environments that fostered creativity and interdisciplinary collaboration. So when approaching the private studio component it was important to keep this sense of collaboration while allowing the artist to work in an environment best suited to their particular creative process. Not everyone thrives in an open studio environment, yet others are energized by the constant flutter of activity, so it was a challenge to create a space that was tailored to each artist. After exploring ideas of transparency, malleability and individual artistic needs this device was designed a way for each artist o essentially build the studio they need within the space. Depending on their artistic medium, their need for privacy and their storage requirements they are able to configure the units into the studio they require, small or large, very open, partially open, or closed. They can even reconfigure their studios if they meet another artist they wish to start a collaborative project with to share a larger space.

Rooftop Landscape Design:

The rooftop terrace gardens present a whimsical outdoor space, like stepping off the elevator and into another world dreamed up by your inner child. Raised beds grow edible plants featured in the restaurant bellow. Like the rest of the building, artistic creations are displayed in creative ways throught the gardens. It also pays homage to Brian Gogginâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s installation on the faĂ§ade of the building by placing a crawling side table and a windi g lamp on a sofa-like mound of grass, a perfect spot to sit, relax and read a book on a sunny day. The design features many unique spaces, from a private aromatic little corner in the herb garden with two nest hammocks to wide open space perfect for a wedding or party event.

The Fairy Tale Project:

A conceptual exploration of the subliminal â&#x20AC;&#x153;side effectsâ&#x20AC;? fairy tales have on modern women. The women were photographed in their own physical and personal space creating an intimate moment where the viewer witnesses or even becomes the reflection in glass or mirror, as if through the subjects own eyes, and in this way experiencing an emotional state. The images are created with mixed media: hand sketches, photographs and miscellaneous objects and textures found in the subjects own space, all collected and layered digitally. The result is a hazy effect that mimics the way we as women paint on various personae to reflect what is expected of us, both consciously and unconsciously. Among these personae, the fairy tales we grew up listening to and patriarchal values they represent influence our personal self-portrayals.

Bellow: Opposite:

Cinderella (mixed media digital) Snow White (mixed media digital) Sleeping Beauty (mixed media digital) Rapunzel (mixed media digital) Red Riding Hood (mixed media digital)

About the Designer: Biography & Design Philosophy Raquel Maldonado Diaz was born in Puerto Rico and has lived there for most of her life. Her parents are both scientists and university professors, which makes it clear where she got her practical and logical minded nature. As an artist, she grew up as the “black sheep” of her family, but what most people don’t know is that she got her artistic side from her parents as well. Her father is an excellent photographer, and she always remembers her mother drawing out stories she would make up for Raquel and her brother when they were very young. Raquel lived in Davis, California from age 6-10, while her parents attended grad-school, which explain why her English is quite good even though it is her second language. She finished her undergraduate studies in 2005 at the University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras campus. She has a BA in Visual Arts as well as one in English Literature. Being the only artist working at a highend restaurant towards the end of college it was always assumed she would be in charge of decorating the restaurant for different seasons and events, a phase of her job that she always looked forward to. But it wasn’t until her boss asked Raquel to decorate her apartment that she began to see the real creative potential there was in Interior Design. At that point in her life she was sure she wanted to continue graduate studies but was uncertain which field she wanted to commit to. In decorating this apartment she was able to use so much knowledge and so many seemingly disassociated skills she had learned along the years, that she was instantly hooked. She enjoyed the problem solving challenges the different spaces presented, compositionally and functionally. It allowed her to be hands on with the project, painting, upholstering, sewing, creating and showcasing artwork, shopping and finding just the right pieces to make the home comfortable and beautiful. Raquel decided on Interior Architecture for her graduate studies (and future career) because she felt it was a good balance of all the things that interest her and formed part of her character, the technical and logical, the creativity and aesthetics. It’s conceptual yet practical and she feels it will always be challenging, no matter how long one works in the field, and this above all else is very important to her. This is how Raquel ended up in San Francisco, and in the Academy of Art University completing a Masters in Fine Arts degree in Interior Architecture and Design.

Design Philosophy:

Creative, Functional, Inviting, Inhabitable Art... The average person in our society experiences art in very restrictive and uncreative ways. We learn about it in school, from books, online, or maybe a visit to a museum, if we’re lucky to have those oportunities. These alternatives are cold and impersonal, all of which art should not be, and with more and more schools losing funding for art programs, this gap between art and viewer grows ever more distant. In my own experience, even many artists prefer to distance themselves and what they do from the “communality” of the “masses,” and after finishing art school, it has been an interest of mine to find that common ground between art and every day life. This is one of the main reasons why I decided to persue a career interior architecture in the first place. To create art people can live in is my passion.
