to balance stimulating activities with in between spaces to reset and reconnect

Alcoves throughout the space provides an area of refuge to step away from activities when they feel overwelming without completely leaving the room. When isolating oneself feels more appropriate the sensory room is a place to reset in privacy with the help of user controlled lighting and a hugging swing. Materials were selected to provide physical and mental comfort to sensory conditions as well as to be durable and easily cleaned. Spaces were spatially seperated to ensure sensory needs would be met as well as larger plantings and new thicker windows installed to mitigate lights and sounds from the highway.
