01. RODIA GARDEN

PROJECT LOCATION:

3636 McKinney Ave #160 Dallas, TX

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The concept of the Rodia Garden is to create various experiences from the story of Persephone, all while transporting diners to a modernized version of Ancient Greece but still celebrating Mediterranean cuisine and mythology.

In this group project of 3, we created a layout that encourages higher spending per table through seating and table configurations. We incorporated four-top floating tables with seats at right angles to achieve the project requirements. At the same time, six-tops and over will have seats across each other to encourage conversation and socialization (Kimes, 2004).

To immerse the diners in the story of Persephone, the area will utilize prospect and refuge theory to delineate different dining experiences by creating partitions and doorways to convey a transition in the storyline and privacy levels. This is done through the intelligent and evocative use of Greek vernacular materials throughout the space for seamless wayfinding and solidifying the Greek Dining Experience.

PERSEPHONE’S STORY

Persephone, daughter of the fertility goddess Demeter and Zeus, King of Gods, who the Greeks attributed the changes of the seasons to inspire the Rodia Garden.

The Garden

The area we see at the entrance to the restaurant represents the fertility and lushness provided by Demeter’s love for her daughter.

The Abduction

Represented by the dining room as it accounts for the bulk of the story, with its cool tone colors that demonstrate how distraught Demeter was at the abduction of her daughter searching the globe, neglecting her duties and allowing the world to grow cold.

The Underworld

Refers to the private lounge at the back of the restaurant representing where Persephone was found, the underworld. In the clutches of Hades, who had found love at first sight upon seeing Persephone after accidentally eating a pomegranate or a ‘Rodia’ in the underworld. This cursed her to remain in the underworld, and after a compromise made by Zeus would spend half of the year with her mother giving us spring and summer, and the other half with her new husband leaving us with the fall and winter to remind us of Demeter’s grief.

PROSPECT & REFUGE THEORY

A tendency to prefer environments with unobstructed views (prospects) and areas of concealment and retreat (refuges). The development of spaces where people can see without being seen.

This restaurant highlights many practical applications of prospect and refuge. The entry is separated from the interior by a greeting station, and the ceiling is lowered to create a temporary refuge for waiting patrons. As the interior is accessed, the ceiling raises and the room opens up with multiple, clear lines of sight. High-backed booths and partial screens provide refuge with minimal impediment to prospect. Shrubbery in between seating to create a barrier between each party.

THE BAR

The jewel of Rodia Garden is the Olympic-track-shaped bar clad in blue marble where patrons can relax after a long day at work or to start the weekend off on a high note. As in a garden, the bar mimics a pond which cools the surroundings and draws the visitors to its side.

1. INSPIRATION

Ancient Olympics were as much a religious festival as an athletic event. The games were held in honor of the Greek God Zeus.

2. SIMPLIFICATION

To make this continuous we combined all circles together. The majority of curved lines create familiarity and comfort, they also suggest relaxation.

THE SEARCH

The inspiration for the search represents the abduction portion of her story. To incorporate wayfinding as a group, we decided to focus on using color throughout the space—blue representing the seasons where Demeter neglected her responsibilities to agriculture and the earth’s fertility.

A mural of Persephone’s story plays the focus point of the room while colors that mimic the natural elements are dispersed throughout the space. Vertical booths create a sense of openness with the 13-foot ceilings.

MOUNT OLYMPUS

In honor of the Greek mythology story of Persephone, the topographic of Mount Olympus is in the center of the restaurant’s ceiling, representing the abode of the gods and the site of the throne of Zeus.

When Persephone lived on Olympus with her mother, Demeter was the happiest, and the land became fertile again and fruitful. These months would be from the spring season to the summer season.

02. PRECIOUS CARGO

PROJECT LOCATION:

Cambodia

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

Precious Cargo is an attempt by a daughter of refugees to ship her art and her passion for redefining a space back into a country torn apart by a heinous genocide that had targeted artists and anyone who undertook the endeavor of higher education.

The shipping container home intertwines the rugged beauty of the landscape and the modern industrial setting of a shipping container home. Incorporating a variety of plants, neutral wooden textures, and natural lighting from the floor-to-ceiling windows will create the illusion of being within an environment, including modern materials such as shipping containers and concrete to produce a sense of structure and shelter .

SITE LOCATION

The location of this site will take place in the rainforest of Southwest Cambodia and Eastern Thailand, Cardamon Mountains. It is the home of many endangered wildlife and about 25,000 people, many of whom are ethnic minorities.

The rugged landscape is filled with marshes, plains, and gushing rivers, making it the perfect stomping ground for rare species and adventure seekers. Activities in the area include a variety of treks through the jungle, kayaking, mountain biking, and swimming in waterfalls.

This design takes the style of western modernity, combines it with locally sourced materials, and is placed in a landscape with a history as dense and rich as the forests the region is known for.

INSPIRATION

Attrium within the space for tenants who want to be in the element, but also enclosed.

Contrast between the raw elements and modernized materials.

Wooden panels to utilize as curtains to give the option of an enclosed or open space.

BIOPHILIC THEORY

Promoting and encouraging interaction between people and nature to improve mental and physical health. To execute this design, I incorporated natural materials and a neutral color palette that would be local in Cambodia to create a space that would create a space that is resorative, healthy, as well as sustainable.

Nature in the space: Visual connection to nature with floor-toceiling windows in the dining area and bedrooms.

Nature of the space: The configurations of the shipping containers creates a courtyard that the tenant can have if they want to be exposed to the environment without being vulnerable to the elements.

FLOOR PLAN: NTS

This floor plan provides a deck/courtyard with glass walls on both sides of the dining room to emerse the tenants in the enviroment. Both bedrooms are separated from each other and from the public portion of the shipping container home.

CITATIONS: “14 Patterns of Biophilic Design.” Terrapin Home - Terrapin Bright Green, 12 Sept. 2014, https://www.terrapinbrightgreen.com/reports/14-patterns/#content.

1. ACACIA WOODEN PANELS

• Also known as Asian walnut will also be used to bring the wooden element into the space. Wood will also help with the humidity of the mountains. P laced within the bedrooms to create the illusion of taller rooms since the shipping container height is 9 foot.

2. FLOORING

• Concrete flooring is solid and resilient; therefore, it will withstand high traffic areas. It is cost-effective, low maintenance, and has slip resistance.

3. PAINT

• Sherwin Williams White Sail is used throughout the entire space to create openness to the small area.

4. TILE

• Magnolia Distressed Subway Tile Olive

• Porcelain tile with a glossy finish has a lot of benefits for the bathroom. It is low maintenance, resistant to wear, and excellent for high traffic use. The color olive will be selected to represent the green color in nature.

5. TILE

• Magnolia Distressed Subway Tile Bianco

6. COUNTERTOP

• S late countertops to represent the rugged landscape of the Caradamon Mountains. This will also create contrast between the paint and light concrete flooring.

THE DINING AREA

The goal for the dining area is to give the tenant a visual connection to nature without being exposed to the outdoor elements, but still being able to enjoy what it has to offer. Research shows signs of reduced stress, more positive emotional functioning, and improved concentration and recovery rates.

NATURE IN THE SPACE APPLICATION

The floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides of the dining room allow tenants to view who is arriving at their home, the courtyard, and the mountains. If the tenants would like to add more privacy to their dining area, they can utilize curtains. This conveys a sense of time, weather, and other living things.

ELEVATION: NTS

THE BEDROOM

Although each bedroom is separate from the other and the private area, it is not entirely closed off to the outside world. Each bedroom consists of one floor-to-ceiling window, allowing the tenant to have visual access to the outdoor elements. In a bedroom, you should feel stress-free and relaxed. Having a visual connection to nature reduces blood pressure and improves mental health.

NATURE OF THE SPACE APPLICATION

The floor-to-ceiling glass windows give the tenant visual access to the natural environment. Still, adding the curtains will enable the tenant to have the option to enclose their space or keep it exposed.

03. CONIFER HEALTH SOLUTIONS

PROJECT LOCATION:

01 North Houston Street, Dallas, TX, 75202

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The core concept of this office building development is to create a collaborative and efficient space by strategically using their brand color and adding huddle rooms to encourage productivity and wayfinding throughout the area.

To achieve this, incorporate focus rooms to facilitate collaboration and communication amongst team members while making the environment more intimate. Smaller meeting rooms will help prioritize larger spaces more efficiently and allow employees to have a private area for a smaller group. Utilizing technology and writing walls will help employees connect with clients or coworkers working from home via video calls (Avstructural, 2019).

Prioritizing their brand color in meeting rooms and areas with much traffic will increase brain wave activity and be wayfinding throughout the space. Red has the longest wavelength, activating the “fight or flight” instinct, and too much color could hurt the individual’s health. (Kurt & Osueke, 2014).

COLOR THEORY

The science behind the colors that we see everyday and how we respond to specific color combinations and proportions.

Conifer Health Solution company color is dark red. According to studies red emotes feelings of energy, power, and determination. Dark red is associated with leadership and courage.

Being exposed to or wearing the color red can cause some physical effects. The color red can help elevate blood pressure, increase metabolism, heart rate, and the repiration rate. (Al-Ayash, 2015)

PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECT

Just like every other color the color red can evoke both positive and negative feelings, but what it is known for is passion.

HEALTH EFFECT

Since the color red is known for being a passionate and emotional color it does increase your heart rate and gets the blood pumping therefore making a employee more productive.

Focus

• Employees are allow to retreat into enclosed rooms.

FLOOR PLAN: NTS

Relaxing

• Employees can lounge with coworkers to socialize or they could retreat to the wellness rooms for a brief moment to decompress.

THE FOCUS ROOMS

These rooms, lined with acoustic panels and tucked away, are inspired by a cell’s mitochondria. Like the mitochondria, these focus rooms are designed to be the powerhouse of the office. With noise cancelation and relative isolation, these rooms will increase productivity and quality of work.

1. INSPIRATION

The Mitochondria are essential in creating energy to drive cellular function and biological processes.

2. SIMPLIFICATION

Creating emphasis on the curvilinear structure of the inner membrane in the design of the arch entrance.

THE LARGE CONFERENCE ROOMS

To resemble a cell structure, the large conference room utilizes curvilinear elements in the ceiling, furniture, and acoustic panels along the walls. In addition to the curtains at the entrance, I incorporated the same acoustic panels in the focus rooms to help with privacy and sound. Curtains allow the option of different privacy levels for employees when they have meetings or team events.

1. INSPIRATION

Taking in the consideration of the red blood cell structure.

2. SIMPLIFICATION

Curve lines represent the fluid movement of water, blood system, and even the curves of a human body.
