HELLO! My name is Avery Thompson, a dedicated student at Harding University on the path to earning a B.F.A. in Interior Architecture and Design. My journey in design has been fueled by an innate passion, complemented by a strong work ethic and creative problem-solving. Transforming this passion into purpose, I firmly believe that every design should serve a meaningful objective—enhancing both the quality of life for the user and the functionality of the space. Throughout my work, I prioritize empathy as a crucial element of the design process, understanding the significance of placing oneself in the user’s shoes to create spaces that make a positive impact.

NEXT PROJECT Type: submitted to Steelcase NEXT Competition - Workplace Year of completion: 2023 Location: Dallas, TX

Known for its rich history involving agricultural success, Dallas, Texas produces a diverse and creative atmosphere perfect for NEXT Architecture and Design Firm. Agriculture is defined as the cultivation of soil for the growing of crops, just like Next has the important role of cultivating the foundation for the growth of relationships and meaningful design. The design will be influenced by the stages of growth for the popular Texas plant, the Texas Sage.

The Texas Sage, once established, is a very tolerant plant with branches that naturally grow in a compact form so they can later bloom prolifically. NEXT wants to provide work opportunities that

not only produce a work product, but a foundation for relationships and individuality. The work spaces will be divided into 3 different areas: germination, pollination, and dispersal. The private areas will use a compact, straight linear design so that the employees can relax in a more organic design that encourages collaboration and relationships. Each area will promote a healthy workspace for every individual type. Utilizing a biophilic design approach, the space will introduce pattern, organic movement, and natural materials to unify the employees and cultivate strong design that grows into the city of Dallas.

WELLNESS IN THE WORKPLACE HORIZON GAZING The average American will spend nearly 44 years staring at a computer screen. At an Architecture and Interior Design firm, staring at a screen for the majority of the workday is a given. So how can we consider not just eyesight health, but mental health, in the firm while being aware of this statistic? Andrew Huberman, a neuroscientist and associate professor at Stanford University, speaks to the importance of “Horizon Gazing.” Horizon Gazing is simply the act of looking out into the distance at the horizon through a window or on a balcony. “This allows the eyes to relax and go into

panoramic vision, relieving stress and fatigue,” (Huberman).

In expanding our visual field by practicing horizon gazing, our body can switch off the stress response and provide a neurological “reset.” Huberman also states, “The neural retina is an important part of the eye and the brain. Building a strong visual system can also strengthen the emotional system.” Horizon Gazing will be encouraged at NEXT for health and wellness by having certain look-out points for periodic breaks in work.

BIOPHILIC PATTERN Biophillia can reduce stress, improve cognitive function, and enhance mood and creativity. NEXT will utilize microscopic views of nature to draw inspiration for patterns in the firm. By blurring the boundaries between exterior and interior spaces, NEXT employees will feel a sense of belonging and contentment in the workplace.

“Look deep into nature and then you

will understand everything better.” - Albert Einstein

GERMINATION Work

Germination is the process by which a plant grows from a seed into a seedling.

Seeds remain dormant until conditions are favorable for germination. All seeds need water, oxygen, and optimial temperature to germinate. When a seed is exposed to the proper conditions, water and oxygen are taken in through the seed coat.

Employees will be in an environment that encourages personal choice while also supplying the proper conditions to support successful work. When the employees are supplied with proper working conditions, creative ideas and sufficient work are taken in.

POLLINATION

Collaborate

Pollination is an essential part of plant reproduction. Pollen from a flower’s anthers rubs or drops onto a pollinator.

The pollinator then takes this pollen to another flower, where the pollen sticks to the stigma. The fertilized flower later yields fruit and seeds.

Just as pollination is an essential part of a plant’s reproduction, pollination (collaboration) is an essential step in working towards a common company goal. Employees will be able to take part in a “Me + We” workspace and fluctuate from private to collaboration spaces. The pollination areas will encourage communication and crossed paths between generations and departments.

After pollination the firm will yield fruitful design.

DISPERSAL Rest

The movement or transportation of seeds to a new site for germination and birth of a new individual is known as seed dispersal.

Through movement and rhythm, employees can seamlessly move to a new area of the space to relax and provide a break for the mind.

NEXT employees will have different space-types to experience. From fixed to fluid and enclosed to open, each person can individualize their work day by having a choice of space.

BANK OF AMERICA CHARETTE Type: Commercial, Team Project, Revit, Enscape Partner: Bailey Flinn Year of completion: 2023 Location: Searcy, AR

The Bank of America is envisioned as a cutting-edge semi-permanent, free-standing pop-up experience strategically positioned on college campuses. This innovative space is designed to seamlessly integrate high-tech and high-touch elements, creating an immersive environment where students can access a comprehensive suite of financial services and education. The overarching goal is to foster financial literacy and empower the college community to make informed decisions about everyday banking, travel, auto and student loans, credit cards, and ATM transactions.

Bank of America values the trust and connection between its employees and customers. Taking away the fear that comes with banking, customers can have full transparency as they enter the space, emphasized by the use of glass throughout. The design utilizes bold lines, clean edges, and translucent materials to give customers confidence and security in their financial decisions.

The separation and variation of space allows for customers to have autonomy over their individual financial decisions while still being connected throughout their journey.

THE WELLNESS HOUSE Type: Residential, Revit, Enscape Year of completion: 2023 Location: Newport Beach, CA

James and Tessa Miller are in their 50’s with a 10th grader, Brooklyn Miller at home. Two years ago, Tessa was diagnosed with PTSD as a result of a major injury while serving in the military. Due to this injury, Tessa is wheelchair bound. This event has created major lifestyle changes. Therefore, the Miller family would like their home to consider the following: aging in place, accessibility/ universal design, and wellness/trauma-informed design. Because James' investment firm has been extremely successful, this is to be their dream home and the budget is open. They also request that the home is no larger than 3000 sq.ft. The home is located in the suburbs of Newport Beach, California just 20 minutes from the beach.

Concept Statement The Miller’s home in sunny California will be a sanctuary space that guides the family, specifically Tessa, to heal and rest. The home will be influenced by the lemon tree.

The lemon has been known to symbolize healing and cleansing. The lemon tree is also known for its capability of producing fruit generously and abundantly throughout the year. With a lemon tree planted in the center courtyard

of the home, the Miller’s will be reminded daily of their path of healing and abundance of life. The home will utilize natural materials, greens, and occasional pops of yellow to represent all parts of the lemon tree. The home will also provide physical and mental healing through the use of natural light, easy-accessible water throughout the home, and an ADA compliant gym.

THE BOSTON LOFT Type: Residential, Revit, Enscape Year of completion: 2022 Location: Boston, MA

Mr. Han is a thirty-year-old systems consultant for a large corporation in Boston, Massachusetts. Both of his parents are immigrants who instilled in him the cultural values of their home country of Thailand.

He will be moving into the loft of a newly purchased two-story building in the downtown area. He likes to entertain and sometimes work from home. Part of this design job will be to integrate some of Mr. Han’s heritage into a functional space while still maintaining an exclusive, high-end loft style. Additionally, he wants smart home technology and universal design principles used throughout the entire loft.

South Central Chapter, Student Competition Large Residential - Silver

Concept Statement Mr. Han’s loft will provide a place to escape from the busy Boston environment while also reminding him of his Thai culture. The overall design will mimic the traditional Thai home on stilts through the interior elements of vertical lines and warm light. With natural textures and materials, the space will show off the beautiful aesthetics and nature of Thailand. Feng Shui will also provide balance for spiritual purposes and aid in traffic flow.

CULTURAL PAVILLION Type: Exterior, Revit, Enscape Year of completion: 2023 Location: Seattle, WA

The Cultural Pavilion is envisioned as a vibrant hub that fosters a sense of community for a selected culture. Drawing inspiration from the architectural embellishments of ancient Khmer Temples, particularly the prang, this pavilion seamlessly integrates the pyramidal structure and graceful spiral movements of the prang into its design. Incorporating a blend of stone and wood materials, the pavilion pays homage to the time-honored architecture of traditional Khmer homes. It offers guests a contemporary interpretation of Khmer heritage, seamlessly merging modern aesthetics with cultural authenticity. This innovative space ensures that visitors can enjoy a sophisticated and inviting atmosphere, where the essence of their cultural legacy remains at the forefront.
