Blooming Tower is a mixed-use building that is site responsive to both the people and the environment. First I conducted research on the demographics of the area including race, age, income, and crime. From the research I found that an unmet need in the area is childcare. I then looked at the environmental aspects of the site, I noticed that Atlanta was a heat island and I could use my building to help reduce the effects.

With the surrounding area being the mountains, I wanted the house itself to be structured like a mountain range. I first sketched the peaks of a mountain and then formed them into a house. In the last sketch I combined the house with the mountain.

The materials used are an aluminum roof, concrete and stone, and log siding. There are large vista views in the public areas of the home and small windows for areas that require more privacy like bedrooms.

The shape of this design was inspired by the welcoming characteristic by a grand entry way. The curve draws the student in.

The stained glass windows were incorporated into the design to better relate to the University Chapel and also provide a unique experience. The light that enters the library from the stained glass adds a feeling of bliss.
