DESIGN STATEMENT

God created this world for us to experience and live together while enjoying his creation and spreading his word to others. We as a society have created a place where we have hierarchies, tear down nature, and leave people to starve. We live to get a job, raise our status, and take care of ourselves, which is different from what we were created to do initially. Changes have been made continuously, but none are permanent. I design to make a persistent change in this ongoing cycle we call reality. People should have access to things to meet basic needs , and if they don’t we as a community should be uplifting them and helping them. I strive to help people and our environment all in one process . The cycle of selfishness needs to be reformed into lifting others up so they can lift the community around them. Through using LEED, WELL, and sustainable practices I hope to create spaces that transform, inspire, and evolve people and groups to rebuild from within and spread outward change. This is the new cycle that I hope to give a little push in the right direction towards a permanent change .

1WELLNESS HOUSE DESIGN

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

This house was being designed for a small family of three in which the father was a war veteran who was diagnosed two years ago with PTSD from a sever injury that resulted in him being wheelchair bound. There is a mother who had an investment firm and a son who is in 10th grade. The main goal was to design a residential home that supported wellness in every aspect of the home. This meant including aging in place, accessibility, universal design, wellness, and trauma informed design in every feature of the house. Everything in the house was made in order to promote a healthy mindset and lifestyle in order to provide the clients with a true forever home.

SITE REASONING

This site is in Rapid City south Dakota. The location was chosen for the client because it is a suburban area with a sense of community. This city has plenty of attractions like Mount Rushmore, and state parks. This specific lot has beautiful views of the mountains and rapid creek. It is one of the best properties along the entire creek. The lot is built out of the ever-bustling town so the clients may enjoy the peace, quiet, and nature. The lot is still a good distance from the city so they can still go into town when needed. It is also only 9.4 miles away from the high school that has a great rating of 7 /10. This lot is 4 acres with scenic views and enough room to build a sufficient house and still enjoy the outdoors. There is a good amount of distance between this lot and its neighbors while still being able to see them and travel a short distance to each house, so the clients can still have a sense of community.

Accessibility : The house has clearance for accessibility in every room with 36” doors, and differentiating counter-top heights. The house has big enough clearance for a wheelchair to comfortably maneuver around. Each rug in the house is also low pile.

Universal Design: There are handles for every door to help with grip, and ADT smart home through the house that helps anyone easily manage and change things around the house to their liking.

PTSD/Trauma Informed Design: The colors blue,brown and green are used in the house to stimulate strength,growth, and peace. The colors are muted to avoid triggering PTSD. Lastly there is a large amount of windows to connect the house to nature which help to promote a feeling of safety.

Aging in Place: There is censored flooring throughout the house which senses when someone falls. There is also motion activated under-cabinet lighting.

CONCEPT EXPLANATION

The kinnikinnick plant is known for putting down strong roots and creating a stable foundation to promote the growth of other plants and can survives year around. Vets have moved around their whole life and are known to feel alienated once they get back to normal life. They feel like they can’t fit back in because of all that they have gone through, and the side effects it had. Through the use of abundant wood and natural earth tones the house is meant to evoke a sense of belonging and stabilization. With beams and wood ceilings encompassing them to make them feel safe and surrounded. There are noticeable but calm contrast in the house to develop a feeling of serenity and peace.

Wellness is when the mental, physical and religious state of being are all at a satisfactory and or healthy level. It has been discovered that the way a house is built and or organized can have a positive effect and promote’’ good physical health and mental health,”. With things such as good air quality, natural/ intentional lighting, ergonomic comfort, and acoustical comfort a, “healthy, balanced home,” can be built. It can also be accomplished through meeting people’s individual needs in the home such as, PTSD, trauma informed design, aging in place, and inclusive/universal/ accessible design. PTSD is sometimes the result of a person going through a traumatic and or life altering experience. 20% of Americans are effected by it.(Real life, p1-2).Trauma informed design is a way in which the PTSD and or regular trauma is considered into the ending design and or layout of the house. In this house there are low ceilings made out of wood in the most private spaces to provide a sense of security and protection in places where someone is most vulnerable.

2KITCHEN &BATH DESIGN

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The NKBA project focused directly on the kitchen and bathroom. This project entailed upgrading a house for a retired couple with 2 golden retrievers who desired a forever home to grow old in. Jalen and Shawn enjoyed and wanted to entertain their friends in their house comfortably. They requested a kitchen and bathroom that incorporated universal design, aging in place, and sustainability while providing different elements that catered to the dogs.

The kitchen and bathroom contained key components to allow for aging in place, universal design, with an addition of elements that catered to the family’s dog. The choice of colors, layout, and additions to the house took these components into consideration. The kitchen has multiple additions, including a pot filler/over the cabinet area for the dog, a large bay window to allow for maximum lighting, a smart fridge, and under cabinet sensor lighting. The bathroom included a zero clearance shower, and a temperature controlled shower system.

NEXT feels strongly that they want to partner with companies that match their core values.

The colors were taken from different parts of the koi fish and are representative of different aspects of the design and the company. The blue is the employees that are working in the company, while the red/orange is what the employees need. This is things like a sense of belonging, control, productivity, comfort, and safety. These are vital for employees to thrive in the workplaces, which amplifies the company’s success. The black is the technology binding the two colors together to provide the most efficient and forward thinking company. The brand is to be reflective of our work community and how our robotics take away everyday burdens while meeting our wants that seem unachievable.

CONCEPT EXPLANATION

We walk through daily life now unconnected and without help. We see this as the normal way to go about our day because of the crisis in 2020 that caused us all to disconnect from all aspects of life. We used to laugh together, relate to each other, and have tight-knit relations with our coworkers. NEXT Robotics will provide technology and a space that helps us work together again to make our lives more manageable so we can grow to our full potential. We aim to give a sense of propinquity again. That allows a community to build and blossom to provide clients with a more efficient life and workers with a more effective and meaningful work environment. Through repetitive loose curved lives , strong but balanced colors , and intentional abstract shapes , the building will reflect the morals found above in the koi fish by mimicking different aspects of the fish.

LOGO DEVELOPMENT

NEXT ROBOTICS COMPANY (CORPORATE DESIGN)

The floor plan reflects the shape and movement of a koi fish. Spaces like offices are put towards the middle in order to provide workers with the space next to the windows. By doing this it makes the hierarchy disappear throughout the workspace and promotes equality. Throughout the space there are plenty of opportunities for the workers to step aside and take some needed time alone. The cubicles are used along the left side in order to give the workers more comfortable areas to talk things through and congregate with fellow workers while staying near their work if they need to reference it or return to it at any time. This will allow for more collaboration throughout the day without distracting fellow co workers. This will allow the team to grow and connect more.

4 SEARCY BRANDING DESIGN

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The branding project is something that the school presents to students every year, with a new theme. This project is meant to bring different majors and minors together to create something as a team. In the year of 2023 the teams were tasked with re-branding the city of Searcy Arkansas. The city needed a new solidified identity to be known by since there were so many different brands going on within the city. They wanted something that would thoroughly represent the community, location, history and the people of the town. Through a few amenities of a known park, library and new welcome center the team was to show the brand and how it would play into the town and places that were already there. Since this was a group project the interiors split up the spaces. I personally focused on the 2 acre park and the new welcome center.

These designs on the left were some of the final branding design that our graphic designers came up with for the town, our second revenue area which was a cafe, and a mascot for the park. Each logo was its own while making sure to tie back to the base design and colors of the brand created. All the colors were based off of a colorful mural in town. This was decided due to its playful nature it could have while still being able to be professional when needed. Every logo came in different colors and with varying slogans depending on the location. We worked hand and hand with them to integrate the brand and their designs into our renderings.

The timeline wall provided an area where one could learn about the towns lineage in a simple and enjoyable way. Understandable for all ages.

WELCOME CENTER

Spring Park features passive design elements combining the historical nature of the space with a modern twist. Similar to the Welcome Center and Spring Cafe, Spring Park is meant to be a place that fosters community with seating scattered around the park and an amphitheater as a gathering place for events. Visitors can play “life-size” Tic Tac Toe, bird watch at the binocular stations, and experience the gardens at ground level or from the lookout platforms wrapping around various trees. The way-finding for the park is divided into a three-color system: orange is for play, coral is for family, and teal is for relaxing.

The welcome center is a space to give the community and visiting people a interactive knowledgeable, and enjoyable first impression of the town. It gives a vision of the town in an open colorful, and informational area to show how to get involved and learn about this small lovable town.

The clinic’s design scope will include Exam Rooms, Public Areas, both Administrative and Physician Workrooms, Manager’s Office, Nurse’s Station, Staff Lounge, Medical Room, Soil Room, both Family Restrooms and Staff Restrooms, a Patient Education Space, and an Outdoor Area. The design should include spaces that support healing, intuitive way-finding, and evoke confidence and trust for children from birth through eighteen (0-18) years old, their siblings, and their families. The design should support a seamless interaction for patients and family, to optimize the experience and outcomes through interior design.

QUALIA PEDIATRICS

“Developing and cultivating growth through sensate experiences.”

CONCEPT RESEARCH/BREAKDOWN

Touch is one of the first senses to develop in the womb as early as 16 weeks in the womb. Physical touch communicates empathy, care, comfort, and love in an extremely impaction way. It affects the way we bond with others and form relationships. Touch is not only an action but also a language that provides intimate connections, and emotional well-being, and helps us to feel a sense of belonging. Physical touch also helps you give and receive positive energy that helps you to connect with the people around you.

CONCEPT STATEMENT

Touch is one of the first senses we cling to as humans. It is something that comforts us, makes us feel loved, and gives us a sense of security. Touch provides us with the push we need to begin healing and connects us back to the areas we feel the most comforted. When in a hospital as a kid and even a teenager we long for reassurance and comfort of our family as we are receiving news or going through treatment, and family members want to be near and touch their loved ones. Through calm colors that evoke warmth, censored textures, and focus on the way people interact with the space, the clinic will make one feel like they are back in the comfort of their loved ones to relieve stress and anxiety.

OUTSIDE AREA

The outdoor space is an area for kids and parents to interact with each other in a playful manner to relieve stress and anxiety before going into the clinic. This area has a center fountain filled with bubble water to encourage the kids to play. There is seating around this and a step up to allow any age to be able to reach the fountain. In the corner is stacking blocks for younger kids, and on the back wall there is a knob that kids can move back and forth on the curved line. With seating surrounding the area parents can either sit and watch their children or play with them. There is a small speaker on the outside to let the family know when it is time to go back with the doctor.

FLOOR PLAN

The space incorporates every possible nook and opportunity for children and their families to interact. This is to improve the clinic experience and the long lasting effects they can have on relationships. That includes kids relationships with doctors, parents, and sometimes other siblings.

HALLWAY VIEW

CORRIDOR AREAS

Throughout the hallways there is playful wallpaper up to the height of the children to give them a sense of calmness while walking to the exam room. On each door there is a window above that is glossed to open up the space while still providing privacy. There is flooring that reflects this shape to point out which rooms are exam rooms. Along with this the door tags are lit up with different colors to represent different zones in the clinic. The rooms for patients are the 100’s while the staff rooms go by letters. The doors include door tags with braille and ergonomic door handles so anyone can read and use the doors.

EXAMINATION ROOMS

There are two separate exam rooms. There is one that focuses on the behavioral/mental illness, and the other one hones in on more physical illness. These two were created to meet the specific needs of the variety of patients. Each has at least two seats for family to sit down and interact with their child to comfort them during this difficult time. Each room also has some interactive feature to keep the patient and other siblings entertained throughout their visit. There are different things for children to interact with in each of the exam rooms. In the behavioral exam room there is a magnetic board with letters by the seating for the family, and straight across from the patient there are pictures of nature to calm the patient and connect them to the outdoors. In the standard exam room there is a reflective area above the bed that lights up to encourage a playful mood. This room also includes a pull out chair that is built into the cabinet area.
