DESIGN THAT FOSTERS CREATIVITY & COMMUNITY INCLUSIVE + ACCESSIBLE + IMMERSIVE WORKPLACE

REVIT / PHOTOSHOP / ENDSCAPE The Revolution Brewing Chicago office celebrates the company’s culture while supporting creativity, community, and flexibility. Designed to balance focus and collaboration, it integrates intentional acoustical treatments, adaptable spaces, and inclusive design solutions that meet modern employee needs. The environment fosters belonging, accessibility, and productivity through cultural expression, innovation, and connection to place.

The Innovation Star concept, intertwines the essence of Chicago with the brand’s identity, reflecting the city’s rich culture and innovative spirit. Drawing inspiration from the six-sided star found in both the Chicago flag and the brewery’s logo, the design translates this symbol through architectural extrusions and deconstructed forms. The result is a bold and functional workspace that celebrates creativity, fosters collaboration, and embodies the progressive spirit of both the city and Revolution Brewing.

NEXUS FAMILY CLINIC

PREVENTATIVE CARE FOR AGING POPULATIONS COMFORTING + SUPPORTIVE + EMPOWERING TEAM MEMBERS: Alisson Angarita & Eden Mateo

REVIT / PHOTOSHOP / ENDSCAPE The Nexus Clinic redefines care in the rural community of Whitefish, Montana by creating a place where people feel comfort, connection, and control over their health. The design replaces the institutional feel of traditional clinics with a welcoming, hospitality inspired environment that supports the aging population and encourages preventative care. Nexus empowers the community to make consistent, confident health choices that lead to more resilient lives.

Expanding Frontiers reimagines healthcare as a guided journey inspired by Whitefish’s railroad heritage. Patients follow a clear, intuitive path supported by caregivers who help them reach a healthier and more resilient life. This journey model responds to the aging population and current healthcare pressures by encouraging consistent checkups and promoting preventative care. Architecture reinforces the journey through simple, linear pathways and warm, hospitality inspired forms that reduce stress and support ease of navigation. Moments of natural light, landscape views, and biophilic elements act as positive distractions, easing uncertainty the way a calming window view empowers a traveler. Nexus becomes both a station and a guide, offering resources at every stop and empowering the rural community to build long term wellness through supportive and uplifting experiences.

NEXUS LOGO

INTENTIONAL + SYMBOLIC + DYNAMIC

Used for signage and environmental graphics

The logo is modeled after a railroad junction, or ‘nexus’, representing the brand’s dedication to providing quality healthcare resources to the community. The arms of the ‘X’ imply convergence and divergence, symbolizing regular visits to the clinic. The intersection of the two ‘railroad tracks’ forms a star in the middle, signifying that Nexus Clinic is a destination on the road to health, much like the stations along a railroad.

NEXUS EMBLEM

PARTI DIAGRAM INTENTIONAL & INTUITIVE FLOW

The parti diagram describes the main circulation paths for patients and providers with “train stops” along the way for exam rooms and staff work areas. The paths converge at the “Nexus” care desk, where communication between staff and patients merge, and resources are expanded.

Wayfinding: Navigation is intuitive. The space uses rubber flooring patterns to delineate main pathways as linear tracks.

Honoring Whitefish’s History: The logging town’s history will be honored through local wood look finishes, and teal accents that reflect the bodies of water. These materials represent expanded local resources

ULRICH’S THEORY OF SUPPORTIVE DESIGN

Expanding Frontiers Concept: The railroad concept is represented through the use of brushed bronze details that elevate the design.

Ulrich’s Theory of Supportive Design: Biophilic elements such as greenery and earth tones reduce stress.

Ulrich’s Theory of Supportive Design explains that healthcare environments can reduce stress and support healing by offering social support, positive distractions, and a sense of control. These elements help lower anxiety, improve comfort, and promote better physiological responses, which leads to faster recovery and a more enjoyable experience for patients, visitors, and staff.

GOALS & THEORY APPLICATION Ulrich’s Theory of Supportive Design: Providers have a sense of control over where they work with access to private office enclaves.

Wayfinding: Circulation is easy and intuitive. The space uses clear patient and staff zones, linear pathways with clear sightlines, and prominent landmarks. Ulrich’s Theory of Supportive Design: Patients are offered a positive distraction with desirable mountain Expanding Frontiers Concept: Repetition of architectural forms enhance wayfinding and emulate train stops along the journey, or ‘track’. Expanding Frontiers Concept: Architectural accents and lighting will mimic the scenic horizons, creating a nurturing and familiar atmosphere for Universal Design: Considerations include bariatric armchairs, rounded corners, soft flooring, and adjustable, ergonomic task seating.

Community buidling: Socialization and communication is encouraged amongst staff and patients to build a sense of support and community. Ulrich’s Theory of Supportive Design: Patients experience social support with a residential-inspired waiting room and adjacency to the care desk. Expanding Frontiers Concept: The care desk functions as the ‘Nexus’ point of connection at a central location between patients and

Patient Processing: Layout of exam rooms and intentionally adjacent spaces facilitate efficient patient processing with shortened walk times.

THE KIMURA’S FOREVER

ACCESSIBLE HOMES AS A NEW STANDARD NURTURING + ACCESSIBLE + INTENTIONAL

REVIT / PHOTOSHOP / AUTOCAD The Kimura’s Forever Home supports a fulfilling and intentional transition into retirement by blending traditional Japanese elements with mid century modern design. Designed to support quiet reflection, creative pursuits, and meaningful connections, the home offers fully accessible spaces that promote comfort, independence, and multigenerational ease. Thoughtful universal design enriches the couple’s daily rhythms, honors their values, and creates a calm and supportive environment that nurtures health, intention, and connections as they age in place.

The design of the Kimura’s Forever Home is inspired by traditional Japanese tatami mats, symbols of meditation, gathering, and intentional living. Their woven structure becomes a guiding metaphor for the home, with each straw and seam representing the different aspects of the life the Kimuras are building, coming together to form a strong and purposeful foundation for a healthy and fulfilling old age. This idea shapes the use of natural textures, warm tones, and the interplay of line and scale, where stacked forms from Japanese architecture meet the diagonal and polished details of mid century modern design. The result is a home that celebrates artistic craft, culture, and intentional living while supporting a fulfilling and connected aging in place experience.

The home emphasizes natural materials and earth tones, where wood and stone textures create a tactile and grounding atmosphere. The layout stacks rooms in a rectilinear rhythm that echoes tatami patterns, while subtle diagonal details guide the eye upward and along the main pathways, adding gentle accents and spatial definition.

KEY CONSIDERATIONS

LIGHT, VIEWS, AND MATERIAL COMFORT

• Rooms used for long periods are oriented toward natural light and calming exterior views to maximize light and regulate the sleep cycle.

ZONING AND SPATIAL STRATEGY

• The layout is organized to stack the foundations of the Kimuras’ daily life together, placing spaces for routines, activities, and opportunity for hobbies in a intuitive sequence.

• Warm wood, stone textures, and earth tone palettes establish a tactile and grounding atmosphere throughout.

• The layout reduces walking strain and promotes the desired habits. • Private, guest, and support zones remain distinct yet comfortably connected, allowing privacy while still accommodating visiting family or a future caregiver. Shelf for Art Display

• Its location near the kitchen eases the offloading of groceries, coats, and everyday tasks when entering the home.
