SOPHIA OCAMPO

MY PHILOSOPHY.

I am Sophia Ocampo, a recent Interior Design graduate from the Savannah College of Art and Design. My hobby of film photography has played a significant role in my design journey by providing me with a unique perspective to view spaces in a cinematic manner. Interior design is like stepping into a dynamic living photograph filled with genuine emotions and interactions through design. It has trained my eye to capture the true essence and moments in spaces, which is translated in my body of work where I aim to enhance and elevate mundane experiences and interactions of interior spaces through human-centric and empathic design.

I enjoy the process of research and analysis to discover innovative design solutions for public spaces, specifically commercial and hospitality design. I believe that design serves as a platform to create a larger impact on people’s day-to-day experiences. It is an integral aspect of my philosophy to design for others and communities who are in need to better improve their situations and to create small moments that lead to larger life-changes.

Project for Public Spaces

Barangay Bankerohan 5-A Informal Settlers

Project Description

The community center aims to define a third place for informal settlers by providing free and publicly accessible spaces and services for the community to reach their maximum potential as individuals, thereby allowing them to gain a deeper purpose in life beyond home and work, while equipping them with sufficient skills to become active members of society and gain upward social mobility. Overall, the space aims to foster a sense of community, belongingness, and self-dignity.

THE PROBLEM

Rural and economically disadvantaged regions, like Barangay Bankerohan 5-A in Davao City, Philippines, lack readily available and free public third spaces.

Due to the limited disposable income of informal settlers from Barangay Bankerohan, they often spend their time outdoors, along streets and alleys, as the few accessible third places like cafes and malls require financial purchases.

PROJECT GOALS

To utilize third place theory and the idea of placemaking to define third place for low-income communities.

KATIG (outrigger)

Just like how outriggers allow boats to glide and sail, and prevent them from tipping over, the space aims to provide stability and balance; thus, navigating the community to the right course of their life by addressing the community’s daily tides and hurdles through free and accessible services. Clustered double-leveled spaces, layers with rigid geometric boundaries, and traditional Filipino lateral support systems contribute to vertical reinforcement and circulation that encapsulates the idea of stabilization. Ultimately, users are able to claim ownership over the space and inherently gain control over their lives, which would allow them to foster socialization, while gaining a sense of belongingness, security, and self-dignity.

MAIN ENTRANCE

The main entrance of the space utilizes draped teal fishnets for the ceiling design, which creates a stark contrast between the monochromatic brown and neutral colors of the space. The idea of utilizing fishing nets was derived from the concept of katig as the paraw boats with bamboo outriggers typically have bamboo frames with nets to allow people to sit on the sides of the boat.

BAMBOO WEAVING WORKSHOP

The workshop allows users to gain skills from the local arts and crafts of the Philippines. Funds earned will serve as pocket money to help those who contributed in making the products. Ultimately, the workshop is aimed at creating meaningful connections between members of the community to bond, share ideas, and impart knowledge to create deeper ties within the community.

COMMUNITY GARDEN

The community garden aims to allow users to socialize, while gaining free access to food. The community effort to take care of each other and grow crops together creates a sense of belongingness.The community garden applies the idea of placemaking where community members are involved in building their community.

OPEN KITCHEN

The open kitchen is aimed at providing a space for families who are in need of a place to cook. The idea of contributing to the free food in the facility for other members will provide the users a sense of community as they are working together towards a common goal.

OPEN CAFE & LIBRARY

Main spaces in the facility are originally opened with exposed ceilings and no walls. However, the open cafe and computer laboratory spaces are defined by a major modular piece that creates the library bookshelf and computer area. Moreover, the modular furniture which defines the two spaces has the ability to be disassembled and moved around. Its open and transformable quality aids in allowing the large space to be used for other purposes such as community meetings, festivals, and relief & evacuation operations during typhoons, thus, serving as a multi-functional space.

Warby Parker

Warby Parker employees

Project Description

The project is a two level workplace design for Warby Parker’s new headquarters in Savannah, Georgia. The space aims to provide a conducive workplace for employees to gain optimal focus and productivity through the idea of an ellipsis–steadfast and forward thinking, which is evident throughout the circulation and lighting design of the space.

ELLIPSIS //concept

Ellipsis is often used to omit words or phrases, but it is also used to trail off thoughts or to connect sentences-not providing a full stop or closure, which indicates the idea of the future. Warby Parker is an Ellipsis-they are trailblazers, and they are pioneers who opened opportunities for affordable eyewear.

Much like an Ellipsis connecting sentences and suggesting the future, the space will connect spaces through unique circulations ard pathways achieved by wayfinding and lighting Thus, this would create a conducive space for collaboration and allow individuals to embody the idea of forward-thinking and innovation.

Project Description

Loom is a port of call destination of Celebrity cruises located on a hill, but deep in a quarry in the proximity of Château de Lacoste. The quarry is cladded in limestone with varying levels and heights, which allows the site to be used for community festivals and gatherings. Moreover, the Luberon Valley is known for its wine, art and textiles.

LOOM //concept

Taking inspiration from a Loom, the space fosters meaningful connections between visitors, and local artists and crafts. Provence has a rich and beautiful history of textile art that the space brings to life in an experience that surrounds and guides the guest. Thus, the act of weaving symbolizes and celebrates the seamless immersion in Provence with every user becoming one with the community.

The site functions as the loom that weaves the locals and tourists into the culture of Lacoste, Provence. The idea of creating an immersive loom is incorporated through the structural columns that act as the spool for thread, and the user journey of the visitors.

The thread around the columns and throughout the site indicate the different looming stages. Ultimately, this is aimed at imparting knowledge on local textiles, while celebrating it through an immersive installation experience.

ENTRANCE & GARDEN MAZE INSTALLATION

Guests are welcomed by the open architecturally-made threads of fabric that guide them through the Garden Maze Installation. The marble spools, which serve as columns, showcase the different looming stages and techniques, and its unique local textiles of Provence.

After visiting all stages of the Loom, the users will discover a live local artist weaving at the center; ultimately, to celebrate Provence’s textiles, and to symbolize the immersion of guests becoming one with Lacoste’s tight-knit community as the site figuratively serves as the Loom that brings guests and locals together.

WINE & WEAVE

The Wine & Weave workshop allows guests to internalize their journey through the maze by learning looming techniques and methods from local loom weavers to create customized textiles, while enjoying a glass of local wine.

The wooden shelves aim to mimic individual thread, and the shelves at the center are meant to case the local provencal wine. Lastly, the ‘X’ design responds to the branding of Celebrity Cruises.

RETAIL

The Retail store offers local provencal textiles, fabrics, and colored threads as souvenirs to support the local business. The color palette of the retail shop is inspired by the colors of provence, and the flooring utilizes local terracotta to provide an authentic provencal ambiance for guests.

BAR & LOUNGE

The Bar and Lounge area allows users to appreciate views from the top of the Loom, while enjoying local provencal wine. In addition, the custom wine holder at the bar was designed to mimic individual loom threads, which creates an ‘X’ that responds to Celebrity Cruises logo and branding.

DINING EXPERIENCE

The Dining Experience transports the intimate dining setting that is commonly found in local provencal homes to the site. Through this, it allows guests to experience the hospitality and authentic provencal family experience while having a meal, and gain a home away from home.

Wallpapers and fabric are inspired by local textile patterns to create an authentic provencal experience for guests.

MY HAND

The still life drawings were completed during draw foundation classes using graphite, charcoal, and soft pastels. Ultimately, the drawings achieved the play of dark and light contrast, texture, color, and composition through realistic hand-rendered techniques.
