SANCTUARY PROJECT

THIS PROJECT IS A SANCTUARY THAT IS LOCATED IN STRAWBERRY MANSION, PHILADELPHIA. THE SITE IS IN FAIRMOUNT PARK, DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM THE ATHLETIC FIELDS. THE DESIGN IS ABOUT HAVING NO DISTRACTIONS WHEN MOVING THROUGH THE BUILDING. THIS IS TO BE AT PEACE AND NOT FOCUS ON WHAT IS OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING. THIS CAUSES MOST OF THE NATURAL LIGHT TO BE COMING FROM THE ROOF OF THE DESIGN. PRIVACY IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR A SANCTUARY SPACE AND IS THE MAIN FOCUS OF THIS. THE BUILDING WRAPS AROUND WITH A HALLWAY TO SHAPE THE EXTERIOR GARDEN, CREATING AN INTIMATE EXTERIOR SPACE FOR PEOPLE TO WALK THROUGH WITH NO DISTRACTIONS FROM THE BUSY CITY AROUND THEM. LIGHT AND SHADOW PLAYS A ROLE IN HOW A PERSON FEELS IN EACH SPACE. THIS EXPERIENTIAL DESIGN IS HOW EACH SPACE WAS CREATED FROM THE INSIDE OUT.
