ABOUT ME My name is Reghan Jane Elliott and I am currently an Interior Design & Architecture student at Florida State University. I call a quaint town in the pan handle of Florida, Gulf Breeze, my hometown and this close knit beach community gave me a sense of security and a picturesque backdrop for many adventures. However, the boundaries of this small area inspired me to wander and find a city where my talent as a designer will have an impact on many. Growing up in the chaos of a home with four siblings and two working parents prepared me to thrive in situations over which I had no control. This has taught me to not let disappointments slow me down, to innovate and problem solve without being distracted by the need for perfection, and to face an irregular world with confidence. This self-reliance and experience creating under pressure will help me succeed.
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY A few years ago, I had the privilege of volunteering at a children’s cancer institute and through my experience I began to genuinely notice the environment around me for the very first time. I became aware of the surrounding sounds, the tangible objects, the aesthetic of a room and, most importantly, the design. This opportunity not only inspired me, but allowed me to understand how design affects the use of a space and the users who occupy it. Discovering myself and my capabilities as a designer began with curiosity, and I believe that it is important to be open to discovery and perceptual learning. I value design as a tool to create a space that discovers and develops the ability to establish a pure connection between a space and its user. I will apply my curiosity as a designer to help better the well-being of others by researching and creating experiences through practical, yet, captivating spaces. This is why I wish to fill a position within a work environment that will challenge me, while allowing me to create spaces that will promote the comfort and well-being of others.

PROBLEM
The vast majority of the Tallahassee demographic is comprised of college students, therefore many businesses cater to this group within the community. According to Tallahassee’s government website, there are a few different centers that offer services to specific age groups, such as the Palmer Monroe Teen Center and the Tallahassee Senior Center (“The City of Tallahassee”). To conclude, the area surrounding the project site is lacking a multi-purpose facility consisting of intergenerational spaces for the entire population including growing families, working professionals, as well as elderly citizens. The objective of this design is to re-purpose the former 42,682 USF ToysR-Us building that was vacated in 2017 as a result of the company’s bankruptcy. This closure resulted in job losses for many citizens of Tallahassee. The design must retain 80% of the existing perimeter walls, however, in order to retain structural integrity, all of the building’s joists and columns must stay in place. Along with these challenges comes the opportunity to establish a concept that will address universal design principles within a multi-use, intergenerational facility.
SOLUTION
The prospective design solution for this store remodel is to establish a mixed use community center that focuses on social and physical rejuvenation for the city of Tallahassee. This space will accommodate the needs of all age groups with diverse backgrounds by radiating a sense of belonging while supporting their independence as individuals. By designing this community center, opportunities for jobs, volunteering, and other leadership positions will arise. Overall, Montage Tallahassee will provide a sense of encouragement for the community and improve the quality of life for all.
CONCEPT
Given the needs of the Tallahassee community to unite, the concept of this design is SYNERGY. Synergy is a mutually advantageous conjunction or compatibility of distinct elements. With this in mind, this design will provide interactive spaces such as fitness and work collaboration areas to create a sense of community for people of various backgrounds in different stages of their lives. A combination of organic materials, various architectural forms, and vibrant colors will encompass this design. The use of natural light throughout the space will both define and enhance the user’s experience by encouraging more productivity, happiness, healthy habits and calmer spirits. Efficient way finding through signage and open circulation will support the people of the community’s independence as individuals. Overall, this design will embody the concept of synergy from the diverse design elements to the versatile essence of this community space
PLANNING DIAGRAMS: The design intent is to fulfill the user needs by applying the concept to design features, such as, zoning, landmark destinations and clear signage which produces an effortless journey throughout the space. GUEST ENTRY

FITNESS SPACE
Durable textiles and flooring materials were used throughout the work space. The textiles are stain resistant. The furniture is commercial grade in order to withstand heavy usage.
The Social Lounge provides a variety of seating options for taking a break and socializing with other members of the Tallahassee community. The vibrant materials and finishes establish a reviving space for user’s to spend their time. The textile selection is stain resistant and durable to withstand heavy use. A unique, wood ceiling feature was incorporated to further entice members to utilize this space when they feel the need to unwind.
The Work Space integrates a variety of different work zones including both individual and collaborative work areas. Biophilia is implemented in order to promote a positive work atmosphere. Since collaboration can cause noise complications, soft textures were included, as well as an acoustic controlling ceiling feature. Bold prints were used on both conference room walls which assists in wayfinding for new user’s of the space. To tie a seemingly straightforward space into our concept of synergy, radiant patterns and colors were presented throughout.
In this Open Fitness Facility, users have the choice to work out at their own pace, team up with others, or be provided with a more personalized workout experience by one of the facility’s volunteers or fitness instructors. Vibrant lights are used throughout to enhance the user experience. Motivational signage is implemented to excite and inspire the individuals utilizing the space. A bright accent wall and splashes of bright colors are provided to provoke the guests and incorporate the overall design concept of synergy.
The Pscyle Studio is an energizing indoor cycling space. Psycle promotes a holistic form of exercise which illustrates both physical and emotional health for people of all ages. Motivational signage and vivid lighting embodies the design of this unique fitness experience.
Upon entering, the Reception Area should be easily identified. A dropped ceiling above the custom reception desk and the contrast of the light and dark laminate finishes of the desks create an impressionable focal point. In order to avoid confusion and decrease stress, the signage will remain uniform throughout the clinic. Furthermore, the integration of communication technology continues to influence clinic design. Patients will use electronic notepads to input their personal data. The monitors are located near the reception desk, mounted to the wall on a flexible arm so that they can be controlled easily by all users. Additionally, each monitor will have a privacy screen in order to ensure patient’s privacy. The design of the reception and waiting area provides an opportunity for a positive impression.
02
HEALING SOUNDSCAPE
Doctor Van Durme, the director of the FSU Primary Health Care Clinic, is seeking an innovative design solution that houses an integrated care-team and an interdisciplinary, instructional facility for the medical students. A few successful design solutions include strategically placed wayfinding, spaces that evoke collaboration while protecting the patient’s HIPAA rights, and controlled acoustics in each area. Providing access to the right tools is critical to the success for those in the stressful field of medicine. Primary-care teams build long-standing relationships with entire families, therefore, a sense of community and availability is one of the many important goals for this design. The community room will be located close to the reception area to provide convenient access and to decrease potential pedestrian traffic in each of the two clinical wings. An inviting yet practical arrangement is essential for the design of the clinic. Together, the FSU College of Medicine staff determined that their work is best when delivered by a team. It is crucial to integrate both the behavioral and bio-medical health teams. By doing so, the design will include a large meeting room with a variety of flexible seating and work surface options for the medical team to discuss and learn in each clinical wing. In order to protect private information in these collaborative areas, the acoustically zoning will be controlled with flooring transitions and ceiling heights. Ideally, the final design will create spaces that promote collaboration at the same time still allow for successful assessments while respecting patient privacy.

In addition to the graphic wayfinding, simple, yet effective, flooring transitions will be used to assist the users experience through each clinical wing. Clinical Wing Two
AMBULANCE PICK-UP
An ample amount of space will be provided near the ambulance pick-up due to the fast pace nature of this space. Additionally access to exam rooms and the portable equipment room is crucial to place near the pick-up.

A room designated for soiled supplies and a room for clean supplies will be placed in both clinical wings.
** A negative pressure exam room is used to contain airborne contaminants within the room in a case of an emergency. This room was placed in Clinical Wing Two due to the close proximity to the reception area.
The three different flooring materials used throughout the design are shown below:
ELEVATION DONOR WALL Custom ceiling feature throughout entire waiting space will have a laminate finish. Suspended gypsum board ceiling above seating in waiting area will have recessed linear light fixtures. Custom wall-mounted feature created with bronze and glass material. The names of each donor will be etched in the glass. The donors will be divided into categories based on donation amount. Furthermore, the size and style of font will designate each of these categories.
A few different seating options, including singleseat, two-seat, and bariatric lounge chairs are available in the waiting area. It is important for the user’s initial experience of the center to have supportive seating for individuals of different shapes and sizes.
CONCEPT
The concept of this melodious design is the musical term HOMOPHONY. It is a musical texture in which a primary part is supported by one or more notes that create rhythmic contrast. Together the many different notes work together to create a beautiful, unified tune. The concept influences macro decisions such as spatial arrangements and zoning atmospherics by dividing the clinic into two clinical wings, a reception area, and community learning spaces. Although each space serves different purposes, together they contribute to the ultimate goal of the clinic just as distinctive notes create a melody. Furthermore, Doctor Van Durme could not stress enough the importance of teamwork among his diverse staff. They provide cutting edge medical assistance when collaborating with one another, just as the notes blend together to produce a pleasant tune. Mobile furniture will be used in the medical staff communication rooms and in the community rooms allowing the staff to freely arrange the room which will maximize teamwork and communication. Graphic designs used throughout the space for wayfinding will provide visual comfort for the community as they pass through the halls of the facility. The circulation of the floor plan will include a variety of pathways and sharp angles which will reduce the patients’ anxiety about finding their way. All in all, the homophony of design features orchestrates a harmonious unity of the medical staff, students, and community residents.

MATERIALS:
The circular ceiling suspended feature not only adds aesthetic value to the exam room but serves a practical purpose as well, acoustical control. Each circle is made of drywall acoustical panel material and hung at different heights, ranging from 9’-0” AFF to 9’-6” AFF. The variety of height and circle arrangement creates visual depth. The Steelcase millwork will be complete with a laminate finish and stone countertop, both from the company, Carolina OFS. The ample amount of storage space allows the facility to store frequently used medical equipment and remain organized.
The equipment rail is thoughtfully placed directly next to the exam chair which gives the opportunity for the provider to administer immediate assessment and treatment. The ergonomically designed Physicians Stool ensures optimal physical alignment for the provider and allows for swift movements around the exam room.
Although each exam room will have different artwork, all art will be displayed on canvas’s that are relatively the same size. The image depicted is a photograph of a tree in Maclay Gardens State Park in Tallahassee. The monitor will be mounted with a flexible arm which allows the provider to share information with the patient and/or caregiver(s) without any visual obtrusions.
Guest seating will provided in all exam rooms.
A cove wall base allows for quick and efficient cleaning.

Motion activated sharp object disposal.
Motion activated, wall-mounted waste baskets are easily accessible to providers, as well as patients and caregivers. The equipment rail allows facilities to customize spaces to their needs. Easy snap on components make updating tools to work with in specific areas simple without damaging wall panels. The mobility and adjustability of both the tray and stool allows for conversation and exploration between providers and patients. The mobility empowers providers with flexibility and efficiency in their daily delivery of care.
28� Samsung LED Smart Healthcare Monitor is mounted with a flexible arm which allows the provider to move the screen for patient and care viewing. Hooks for patients and caregivers to hang bags, jackets, or hats to eliminate tripping over any items placed on the floor.
Bariatric seating for guests will be placed in each exam room. The Midmark exam table is designed to offer low and high positioning heights so the provider can provide the best care to all patients.
Hand sanitizer dispensers are placed directly next to each door so that the provider has the ability to sanitize their hands before introducing themselves to the patients and/or caregivers.

SERENITY HOTEL
A substantial market was discovered for fashion-minded travelers seeking an atmosphere in which they could enjoy an artistic lifestyle: a setting that immersed them in the avant-garde where they could feel they belonged to a community of insiders whose taste was impeccable. The Serenity Hotel will distinguish itself with personalized service and a unique set of characteristics that define a boutique hotel. High-quality materials and eccentric accents will create an unforgettable visual experience and atmosphere. The design will be inspired by the First Lady of Australian Design, Marion Hall Best. Best’s spectacular spaces consisted of the latest European and American design trends at the time, including Charles and Ray Eames, warm color tones and the juxtaposition of sleek lines with organic shapes. The combination of these elements matches the integrity and aesthetic of midcentury modern design.

NEW FARM, BRISBANE
A compact, inner-city precinct, New Farm is full of trendy retail outlets, restaurants and bars. Some of the best arts and cultural displays and festivals in Brisbane are also found here. Being so close to Fortitude Valley, these suburbs may adopt a similar attitude to their energetic neighbor, though the atmosphere tends to be a little more relaxed and ornate. Brisbane is very big on nature and tends to celebrate the natural environment through their architecture. Plenty of large, open outdoor spaces were created for residents and travelers to unwind and enjoy the sun. Although there is easy access via public transport and a limited amount of paid parking facilities available, the area is easily navigated on foot. This is a great way of getting to know the area while also enjoying its green, leafy, picturesque surroundings. Brisbane’s approach to the environments they build plays a large role in the city’s identity.

HOTEL LOBBY
The Serenity Lobby design facilitates efficient flow of pedestrian traffic and emphasizes wayfinding. This area offers a first impression of the ambiance that the hotel wants to emit and may provide a glimpse of what is available to enjoy in the surrounding neighborhood and community. Furthermore, the lobby provides a variety of meeting places. Most guests are looking for a space to spend their free time, talk to their friends, meet strangers or enjoy a conversation with a friendly bartender.
HOTEL RESTAURANT & BAR
HOTEL SPA POOL & LOUNGE The Serenity Spa is a welcoming center located on the ground level. The Spa Pool and Lounge allows guests to actively participate in activities meant to relax body, mind and spirit. This is accomplished through treatment such as massage, as well as exercise on fitness equipment. The focus of this amenity is to address the wellness of the guests by offering wellness treatments that are authentic and incorporate the elements of the destination.
HOTEL KING SUITE
The image above is the hallway found in each guest room wing on levels two, three, four and five. The long linear ceiling feature mirrors the floor pattern - guiding the guests through the space both visually and physically. The round metal architectural feature frames each doorway and includes the room number which allows guests and staff to find their rooms quickly and efficiently. Decompress, revitalize, and rejuvenate; the three main purposes of the King Suite. This private efficiency suite is available on levels two, three, four and five and allows the guest to relax and unload the stress of the day. The comfortable furnishings allow for restorative sleep necessary to refuel the body and build the energy to conquer the next day.
04 SEATTLE The kiosk designed was inspired by the city of SEATTLE and was rendered using Lumion. The kiosk would be placed within the William Johnston Building at Florida State University, as seen in the renderings. The true nature of the city inspired the design of the kiosk with the use of particular materials and vertical lines throughout. The kiosk’s form allows for a great deal of movement throughout the space while emulating the city’s traditional architecture. Furthermore, the combination of geometric and organic shapes creates a sense of balance while adding unpredictable energy, much like the rapid pace of the city itself. The greenery communicates with the structure and the concept by promoting a healthy lifestyle and open to change.
05 HAND-RENDERING Throughout the last few years, I have had the chance to continuously practice my hand-rendering skills. With courses, such as Graphics I and II, I was given the chance to explore different rendering techniques using markers and pencils. As I move forward within the design profession, I have come to appreciate the process of quickly and efficiently portraying my visions through sketching. The images below depict my hand-rendering capabilities.
