JOURNEY THROUGH JAPAN Ellis Island, New York | 2018
01
PROJECT DESCRIPTION This representation of a Shinto Shrine creates an experience for visitors who wish to learn and immerse themselves within the sacred Shinto religion. The religious pavilion will use natural materials and bold colors to give visitors an authentic journey through the Japanese territory.
CONCEPT The beginning of this journey begins with the concept of bamboo. Each bamboo plant grows straight with little interference, this represents the path to a Shinto Shrine. The Shinto religion strives for purtiy, natural materials, and a connection to ancestry. The various forms of bamboo have been broken down to create a meaningful experience through the museum.
DECONSTRUCT
PROCESS
Balance, line, and repetition are important elements used to guide the journey through this experiential museum. Just as balance represents the spirit and physical world, it defines this space with symmetrical structures. Traditionally, the pilgrimage to a shrine should be as straight as possible. The representation of line will form a straight path to guide visitors to the shrine. The repeating knots in the bamboo’s stem represents the consistency of Shinto rituals. All of these elements create an atmosphere of curiosity and authenticity.
FLOOR PLAN This museum is located on Ellis Island just off of New York. In order to maintain the unique journey of a Shinto Shrine year round, the entire shrine is preserved indoors surrounded by floor to ceiling windows. This allows for visitors to travel through the space comfortably while still seeing views to the outdoors. Visitors are welcome to participate in traditional Shinto rituals or explore the library that hosts niche seating and information on the religion.

INDEPENDENT LIVING Charleston, South Carolina | 2019
02
PROJECT DESCRIPTION The goal of this design is to personalize an unfinished house in the community of Charleston, South Carolina for a couple looking to create their forever home. The house was designed to integrate universal design to adapt to the client’s needs while creating a home for friends and family to visit. The design was to be centered around ADA guidelines while encompassing the client’s stylistic needs for ecological modernism.
PROCESS
SPACE PLANNING
CONCEPT The residence of Mr. Taylor and Mr. Walsh in Charleston, South Carolina, utilizes wood finishes, soft furnishings, and neutral textiles. Clean lines and a lack of aesthetic adornments keeps spaces clutter-free and interesting to the eye. The concept of cotton ties together this design by how the hard shell steams from linear forms and opens to reveal a light and airy material.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Bijoux is a mid-high end range jewelry store that generates a flexible customer base. The sophistication of the retail space welcomes a mature generation while still appealing to the young working class. The jewelry store Bijoux aims to evoke a sense of awe and wonder when clients enter the space just as one would experience from looking up at a sky full of stars.
FROSTED
DESIG
CONCEPT Described by the ancients as a river, as milk, and as a path, the milky way is the center of our galaxy. When the night is clear the sky will reveal a broad swath of light mixed with dazzling stars and dust. The jewelry store Bijoux aims to evoke a sense of awe and wonder when clients enter the space just as one would experience from looking up at a sky full of stars. The stores goal is to both create a comfortable lounging space as well as an organic flow of people who are wondering the store. The Milky Way does not sit still, but is constantly rotating, such as the flow of new clients and members walking through the retail space. The colors of the Milky Way will inspire the soothing color palate of the jewelry store and customized lighting will meet the clients needs for a unique and unforgettable experience.
THE LOUNGE
This view showcases the custom lighting created for a unique experience at Bijoux. Visitors can sample jewelry while sipping on beverages and relaxing in the lounge.

INNOVATING WONDER St. Louis, Missouri | 2020

PROJECT DESCRIPTION The concept chosen for Wonder Workshop headquarters is mutualism, the doctrine that mutual dependency is necessary for well-being. Employees in a company must work together in a space to create profitable outcomes and sustain the desire to continue this work. By designing an open plan, full of natural light, and various work environments - a healthy ecosystem within this business will evolve.
LEVEL 4
A flatarchy organization best represents the structure of Wonder Workshop. Although there is now only one founder and CEO at the top of the organization, the company heavily relies on communication and collaboration among team members to keep the company functioning efficiently. Wonder Workshop is composed of five executives and one CEO who oversee office functions for product development, sales, advertising and marketing, legal and regulatory, accounting, and management and administration staff.

ST. LOUIS, MO Manufacturing is a large part of the St. Louis economy where the Port of Saint Louis produces chemicals, beer, metal products, military aircraft and missiles, and automobiles. The importance of trade and manufacturing is at the heart of St. Louis, inspiring the development of an industrial design that will emanate the history of St. Louis with the added engineers aesthetic of the manufacturing industry.

LEVEL 4
MAKING THE MOST OF LIMITED SPACE Being sustainable doesn’t always mean recycling your plastics. Multi-use rooms in office buildings or any large space can cut down on expansion costs and the need for more materials. This saves the client money which is also a benefit when designing a space. The conference room doubles as a staff training room with modular furniture and rolling plush chairs that absorb noise but also brighten up the space. The stadium seating attached to the staircase faces right into the conference room allowing more space for important meetings or lectures where people can gather around. The stadium seating is also a multi-use space for small casual meetings or a comfy spot to read emails and recharge the batteries.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Group: Kailey Brown, Elizabeth Allen, Sarah Findley
In the age of e-commerce, spaces that were once thriving are now dying; taking away jobs and local tax revenue in the process. In 2017 alone, 105 million square feet of retail space was vacated in the U.S. (CNBC, 2018). This shift has only be exacerbated by COVID-19.
M.U.S.E. - A MULTI USER SHARED EXPERIENCE As Florida’s state capital, Tallahassee is feeling the effects of these uncertain times and experiencing everlasting changes. Taking inspiration from the current events that are shaping a new future for the community, The M.U.S.E. focuses on the abilities of art to suspend time in a single instant. People will be greeted with a spacious and scintillating gallery that embodies these moments in time captured by those who create in the studios. In order to appreciate the unique community that is Tallahassee, The M.U.S.E. will suspend time for just an instant to truly reflect on the world.

THE M.U.S.E. BRANDING AND MERCHANDISE
PHOENIX MEDICAL CENTER Chicago, Illinois | 2020
06
PROJECT DESCRIPTION Ulrich’s theory of supportive design is that to promote wellness, healthcare facilities should be designed to foster coping with stress. For persons experiencing anxiety or stress, studies indicate that certain types of nature scenes rather quickly foster more positive feelings, and promote beneficial changes in physiological systems – for instance, lower blood pressure (e.g., Ulrich et al., 1991). Holistic Restoration takes into account all parts of these considerations as a whole to provide a complete center for healing.
WELLNESS APP + CONCEPT
HOLISTIC RESTORATION The theory of holism states that all parts of a whole are in an intimate interconnection, such that they cannot exist independently of the whole. The meaning of restoration is the action of returning something to a former condition. By putting these two concepts together, the whole of Chicago is represented through the rebirth of the city by the whole of its parts coming together to create the community we see today. The 14th floor clinic will have spaces of refuge for patients who need more privacy as well as spaces for the staff to decompress between patient care so that everyone within the clinic as a whole is taken care of. All parts of the clinic need to be considered with empathy in order to create a space conducive to healing and comfort.
WHY USE AN APP FOR HEALTHCARE PRACTICE? The new and improved 14th floor of the John Hancock building in Chicago, Illinois will house the modern holistic Phoenix Medical Center. This clinic keeps their patients comfort in mind not only with soothing interiors but also with accessible healthcare through a mobile app that any patient can download and keep track of their healing process. By promoting the use of an app, Phoenix Medical center will be able to stay in touch with patients even when they are not visiting the clinic. This connection to patients will build relationships between practitioners and patients. A strong relationship will prevent patients from leaving a practice that offers accessible healthcare like no other.
CONTROL: Self check-in stations are provided for contactless service and to reduce interactions for those who desire to social distance.
WELLNESS ROOM: This room is a multipurpose space that can provide quiet comfort for those that need to pray, breastfeed, stretch, or even just need to take a moment to themselves.
FLOOR PLAN LEGEND
SEATING: Niche seating provides a sense of security, inspired by Ulrich’s Theory of Supportive Design. Residential, home-like furnishings create a more familiar setting to reduce “white-coat” anxiety.

CHECK-IN + CHECK-OUT Upon entering, visitors are reassured they have arrived at the right place by the distinctive logo and backlit signage of the Phoenix Medical Center. Natural views and phototropism welcomes new patients into the space. The reception desk has an optional protective panel that can be inserted during uncertain times like these. The protective panel is easy to install and remove so that it is not necessary to hire assistance, keeping the clinic efficient and safe.
Clerestory windows above exam room doors borrow daylight from exam rooms to add natural lighting to the interior hallways.
EXAM HALLWAY ELEVATION
A custom hand rail has been inset into the walls with a braille wayfinding sign before each exam room. This allows patients to know when they have reached their exam room without having to touch multiple surfaces.
The code required signage for each exam room has visual que tabs for if the patient is changing, still waiting, or if they have seen a doctor or not. These tabs aid nurse practitioners in keeping up with helping patients in a timely manner.
STAKEHOLDER JOURNEY
NOT TO SCALE
The large wayfinding signage at the head of the hallway assists patients and new staff members to navigate the space easily. Large illuminated numbers next to the exam room doors directs patients to their correct room while the inset hand-rail running the length of the hall supports patients along the way.
CLINIC STAFF ZONE The clinic zone offers mobile seating and an adjustable writing surface so that eye contact with patients is maintained during consultations and sharing screens is done with ease.
PATIENT ZONE The patient zone offers views to the outdoors to relieve stress. There is a smart screen across from the patient seats as well as a mobile tablet screen next to the patients so that they are able to view results and diagnosis.
PATIENT CONSULTATION ROOMS The consultation room designed for the Phoenix Medical Center is centered around reducing clutter and providing simple technology for a calming experience. When patients are able to view results and diagnosis in their own hands it can provide a sense of control and comfort during uncertain times.
