01 Co-Working Hostel Hybrid Situated in one of the world’s most popular destinations for digital nomads, Valencia, Spain, this co-working hostel hybrid provides guests with the amenities necessary to foster a life while living “on the road”. The overall goal of the space is to provide a diverse range of experiences that come together to create a home for digital nomads and expats alike.

CONCEPT STATEMENT The space houses advanced collaborative work areas that foster engagement opportunities for guests, employees, and the community itself. The design focuses on creating meaningful and lasting connections by bridging the gap between guests and the community, while also bridging the gap between work and leisure. I explored the idea of both visual and physical connections by introducing varying degrees of openness within the architecture that encourage communication and provides glimpses of guests’ collaboration and interaction in the hostel and in the community as a whole. By creating a space that brings work and leisure together under one roof, I hope to encourage collaboration and provide a platform for communal support to guests. There are private spaces, but even more public spaces to encourage collaboration between guests. The tesselations of triangles throughout the building represent people coming together, like the triangles come together.

The site is situated in one of the world's most popular destinations for digital nomads, Valencia, Spain, this co-working hostel hybrid provides guests with the amenities necessary to foster a successful life living “on the road”. As remote work increases in popularity amongst people of all ages, so does the need for spaces that not only provide somewhere to sleep, but somewhere where people can continue to grow in their experiences or “touchdown” for a small period of time. The concept for the design of the space focuses on the idea of “fusion” which refers to the idea of two things, in this case work and leisure, coming together to form a strong union. The overall goal of the space is to provide a diverse range of experiences that come together to create a home for digital nomads and expats alike. With this project, there will be a big emphasis and focus on finding identity, authenticity, and unique experiences. There will be an opportunity for this hostel to expand to other countries, like a brand or hostel network.

Touchdown Hostel, a hostel located in Valencia, Spain in the Rufaza district. The Rufaza district highlights the contrast between the newly urban environment and natural landscape which resulted from the Turia River’s revitalization as an urban park. This park sprawls across the city and provides residents and visitors with unique amenities and features famous city landmarks. By bisecting the city, the Turia gardens serve to connect the two sides of the city rather than isolate them like the previous river. The site for the hostel lies in the heart of the Rufaza District, which is located along the Turia Gardens in Valencia. Specifically, the hostel sits on a street corner in a close proximity to many famous attractions, such as art and science museums. This area also is known for its large millennial population and presence of digital nomads/expats.

The space planning, zones, and positive and negative space is based on the metro system used in Valencia, Spain specifically. It is also important to note that the metro system is widely used in Spain in general, but this specific map is the metro map for the specific city of Valencia. The lines of the map will be used as a wayfinding tool in the space on the walls moving down to the floor and the ceiling. Making it into a LED lighting fixture that flows throughout the entire building.

This will hopefully help spark conversation between guests and show that community/ communal aspect with everyone coming from different backgrounds, cultures, and countries and engaging with each other.

02 WeWork Headquarters WeCompany Headquarters located in Chelsea, NYC. This design encompasses We Company’s values of being authentic, genuine, and transparent in their business practices. An open yet funtional office floor plan.

Aperture width became the inspiration for the WeWork Headquarters design. The definition for an aperture is an opening, hole, or gap. In relation to photography, its a space through which light passes in an optical or photographic instrument, especially the variable opening by which light enters a camera.There are different settings on a camera aperture that allow it to focus highly on an object or do the opposite. A lower focal ratio denotes a lesser depth of field, which allows for the more precise focus on one object in the focal view.

WeWork is a company that promotes collaboration and coming together as one company to create.

There are many different sects of the company, but everyone works together and collaboration is key. Each individual has a story, but the company’s main focus is working together to create a brighter and bigger story.

03 Press Play Restaurant & Bar Press Play is a restaurant for individuals with cognitive disabilities who are seeking employment opportunities in the foodservice area. This space will help the clients to learn socialization skills and to have a safe space to socialize with people like themselves, but also the outside community. This restaurant will be located adjacent to the agency offices and the recently designed training facility in a strip mall on a main street in Lexington, KY in which these individuals with cognitive disabilities seeking employment have been trained.

PRESS PLAY

EAT. DRINK. GAME. REPEAT.

This restaurant has a very fun upbeat vibe. There will be healthy alternatives sold in the restaurant with some made on site, including grab-and-go packages. There will be seating for sixty at tables and sixteen at the bar area, with an overall capacity of about eighty people. The bar area will be accessible to a person in a wheelchair.

There will be two unisex style, ADA compliant restrooms, complete with a baby changing station that will be set up for people who may be in a wheelchair. Noise and sensory conditions are main factors and are very important in the design of this space. Furniture will be flexible and moveable to provide vestibular action for those with sensory needs. For those who are wheelchair or scooter bound, there will be circulation and space to maneuver, not only per code, but by creative use of space. The table and bar service spaces will be designed in a way to allow for people who are in a wheelchair to not be stigmatized by where they are placed or out of the way.

Press Play is a restaurant that promotes healthy development in a fun and creative way. The different activities offered will engage patrons and employees and motivate them to explore their interests, whether that be socializing over food or playing games with friends or on their own. Press Play has arcade games surrounding the restaurant to create that eat and play aspect. Keeping in mind the noise, sensory issues, and disturbances these games create, there will be sections in the restaurant that separate the noise and flashing lights created from these games. The color palette, finishes, and furnishings will have a toned down style and feel to avoid those sensory issues being triggered. This is a place where individuals can be themselves, socialize with others, and learn to be independent.

04 Emerge Vocational Training Center Emerge is a vocational training facility for individuals with cognitive disabilities. Located in Lexington, Kentucky. This project was done in collaboration with Kasey Farrell and Tally Harvey.

AFRICAN ENCOURAGMENT SYMBOL

FACILITY LOGO

The African symbol of encouragement, “Woforo Dua Pa A, Na Yepia Wo,” which translates to “When you climb a good tree, you are given a push” was the main inspiration behind Emerge: vocational training facility. This is because of the powerful meaning behind the African Symbol. This symbol was then translated into the logo by utilizing the words energize, empower, and encourage. By doing this, the space is to energize all who come to the space, empower them, encourage them on their climb up their tree, and to emerge them into the workplace.

1% of world population has ASD

14% of adults with autism who receive developmental disability services have a paid job in their communities

35% of young adults (1923) have not had a job or post-grad education level past high school

60% of people with autism left vocational rehabilitation services with a job

This project was a 21 day competition combined of groups of three to design a vocational training facility for individuals with cognitive disabilities. This facility will be used to train individuals with cognitive disabilites, so that they can go into the workplace with the skills needed to succeed on their own. Intensive research was made to further understand and design a facility for that these individulas can strive in. Specific furniture and furnishings were chosen to help better implicate our designs for the facility. Many renders and plans were made to further develop and translate our concept of emerging into the workplace as individuals and climbing up their own tree with the help or push of others.
