Design an office space for the RETI Center As a self-proclaimed “diverse ecosystem,” the non-profit, education-focused RETI (Resilience, Education, Training, Innovation) Center requires an office space open to collaboration, education, and inclusion of individuals of all ages and backgrounds. Taking inspiration from Biophilic Design, and RETI’s commitment to education regarding rising sea levels, the proposed office space combines an open floor plan with a central “Forest,” inspired by the underwater ecosystem of a Kelp Forest.
The Forest consists of a series of movable columns, creating a dynamic space appropriate for meetings, collaborative workshops, and events. The office, which includes a Community Creation Center and Education Theater, is not a place solely reserved for the “employee;” it

LEVELING Design a residential space for two families The unique design of this dual-family residence allows for a multi-level space without walls; floors rise and fall, not only creating a dynamic space for both play and rest, but allowing for the space to be divided and zoned without the need for traditional partitions.
Lower-level sections are provides a non-traditional meant for rest, relaxation, space for families to gather, or conversation, while connect, and live. higher-level sections are designated for activity and play. Ultimately this multilevel residence

04 ELEVATING LIGHT PRESENTED WITH PHYSICAL MODEL
Inspired by the vertical nature of Noguchi’s Akari UF4-31N, a forest of Akari Lamps guides the occupant through the Noguchi Studio Space; the light sculptures are elevated at various heights upon a series of interconnected shelves and mobile partitions.
Flexibility and mobility remain cornerstone aspects of the design, as the shelves may be disassembled and partitions moved to facilitate various displays and manipulate circulations within the space. Occupants have the opportunity to wander amongst lights at every
26
height; the light sculptures appear lifted, heightened, and elevated, befitting their elegant and ethereal nature.
