The Live Young: Sky Lakes Wellness center is located in Klamath Falls, Oregon. The main goal of the wellness center is to create an environment that promotes a healthy lifestyle change for people who struggle with being overweight or obese. The goal of my design is to create a natural, warm, and bright environment, which is inviting and calming to promote a healthy lifestyle change. Strength, serenity and thrive is the motto we created to represent the goals of the wellness center and to drive the design process. To make the feel of the space possible, materials and colors that are warm and inviting will be used.

The inspiration for the design was a tree with the branching and process to grow a tree from the start; it implies change in direction and different paths. The life style change encouraged by the wellness center is difficult to start but can be a beautiful thing in the end. In order to accomplish my design goal, my design is organized based off of more active spaces verses more calm spaces. The division is created by volume changes accomplished by ceiling heights and the strong main entry axis. The variation in ceiling height allows different intimacy levels in the different spaces.

12th Existing Conditions
Barry’s Espresso Bakery and Deli is located on the corner of Alder and 12th in Eugene in close proximity to campus both the University of Oregon and Northwest Christian University. It is a restaurant that has a small cafe feel with baked goods , soups and fresh sandwiches. The lighting fixtures are outdated and too commercial for the space with the fluorescent lighting and the overall feel is somewhat messy and thrown together.

FALLING INTO PLACE
The original location is an alley in downtown Eugene, Oregon. The concept is that the world is short on resources to build new buildings so people use whatever they can find. Each little section is added one by one.
Dan Flavin •“One might not think of light as a matter of fact, but I do. And it is, as I said, as plain and open and direct an art as you will ever find”, Dan Flavin, 1987
Gjon Mili Albanian photographer originally trained as an engineer but self-taught in photography who immigrated to the United States in 1923 Was the first to use electronic flash and stroboscopic light to create photographs that had more than scientific interest. Was a pioneer in the portrayal of movement in photography.
Location: Portland, Oregon The building site is in an up and coming neighborhood. It has many start-up art galleries, pubs and buildings that have not been updated. Concept: The basic concept for this adaptive reuse project was to create an exhibition design within the existing building and to respond to the urban context.
Program: Our program was to include: a permanent exhibition of a photographer’s black and white work and the work of a different light artist, a temporary exhibition space, a reading area, offices and storage. Design Approach: For this project I chose to explore the photography of Gjon Mili and light art by Dan Flavin. Gjon Mili’s stroboscopic light photography inspired the movement I designed between the exhibition spaces. I was concerned with the movement of the human body and how one interacts with light. In contrast to Gjon Mili’s subject matter of movement, Dan Flavin’s art is static. In working carefully with the 100 by 26 foot building, I wanted to emphasize the exciting corner and the rectangular length and volume available. I decided I would bring the public into the rotating/temporary gallery level first and I set the permanent Mili gallery above. I gave a choice of paths for each visitor, either entering the galleries first or going to the Flavin spaces. I was extremely careful to work with the bay system of the existing windows to organize the configuration of the internal design. I wanted to emphasize the exciting corner and the rectangular length and volume available. I decided I would bring the public into the rotating/temporary gallery level first and I set the permanent Mili gallery above.
