This spa is placed near the Zzyzx Research Laboratory to build upon the existing community of Zzyzx. Its placement on a hill offers a vantage point to view the beautiful Mojave Desert horizon and integrates its many pools into the landscape itself. The form is inspired by rattlesnakes found in the desert and the scale pattern and sensuous curves are used for aesthetic purposes as well as practical purposes. The scale system is used to direct the flow of water as well as attract condensation in the air using water vapor’s natural attraction to cold surfaces.Water vapor’s behavior has been precedented in the UTEC Peru Billboard and the spa explores this concept further. All the curves facilitate water into the ground beneath the base of the canopy where the water is stored in an underground water tank to be later used in the hot arid desert. The spa breaks the flatness of the horizon and rises out of the hillside and ground. B

GENERATIVE BOUNDING SURFACES 1" by 1" panels were generated with control points used to create a complex surface topology. 2 bounding surfaces were created to generate a grain that the panels would wrap around, warping the panels and stretching them as appropriate. The end product is a uni ed system of panels mimicing the shape of the bounding surfaces

Neiman Marcus Falconry Companion designed by Richard Wrightman Design, Ken Hooke, Alexandra Llewellyn, and David Linley, commissioned by BespokeGlobal
The trunk holds the other items of the collection and fits perfectly into an Escalade. Created with oiled walnut and fine full-grained leather.
The falcon transport case is designed to keep a falcon comfortable while being moved. It follows the design aesthetic of the trunk.
Richard Wrightman’s signature Chatwin Chair easily deconstructs to fit inside the trunk and is lightweight.
The folding table is lightweight and also comes apart to fit within the trunk. It comfortaly serves 4 people or 2 people engaged in a game of Backgammon on the beautiful board designed by Alexandra Llewellyn.

Panels hinge away from the shell to let in natural light and are also used to shield aircraft and art pieces within from direct sunlight. They further act as a way to create a sense of suspense throughout the museum due to how they hide certain portions of the museum when seen at different angles.
The Endeavour acts as the centerpiece of the collection and is the heart of the museum. It is embedded into the ground plane, with half of the shuttle visible at eye level and the other half (including the wings) located underground so that vistors can view the shuttle from a bird’s eye perspective
