TAINO BUS STATION

Bayamon, Puerto Rico

The Taíno Bus Station located in Bayamon, Puerto Rico is a cultural emphasis project that highlights Taíno Tribe. The Taíno people were one of the original groups of natives that populated the island of Puerto Rico. The building form, patterns and materials reflect aspects of the local Puerto Rican culture and the Taíno culture. The building is LEED Gold certified and focuses on creating both a structure and site that is both beautiful and sustainable. The design incorporates the use of native plants, rammed earth, corrugated steel, and other sustainable and local materials.

The intent of the Taíno Bus Station was to create a building between a bus stop and a bus terminal. The locals and tourists rely on the public transportation system in Puerto Rico daily and are always in need of additional facilities and updates. The design includes restrooms, indoor and outdoor waiting areas, an information/security desk, and ticket machines. It is a place for locals and visitors to wait for the bus and get information about the current routes. The Taíno Bus Station is a practical and needed building in the Bayamon community that is also a physical expression of the respect for the native Taíno Tribe.

TOPO RETAIL SHOP

Cedar City, Utah

Topo is a small retail shop that primarily sells backpacks, along with other outdoor products. This Tenant Improvement project utilized the concept of adaptive reuse by turning an abandoned Sinclair gas station into a unique retail store. Topo is short for topographical, which is a type of map that shows lines that indicate the elevation. This term is prominent among the outdoor community and is a brand that relates to the lifestyle of the target audience.

The repurposing of the existing building, reduces the need for new construction, which leads to environmental benefits and cost savings. Additionally, converting a gas station into a retail shop can provide a unique and interesting space for shoppers, creating a memorable and distinctive shopping experience.

RIPPLE OBSERVATION POINTE

Grand Canyon, Arizona

Ripple Observation Pointe is a modern style observation center that aims to provide visitors with an immersive and breathtaking experience of the Grand Canyon. The inspiration for this design concept comes from the natural beauty of the canyon, which is characterized by its rugged terrain, stunning vistas, and dynamic light and shadow play. The design concept seeks to capture these elements by creating a structure that blends seamlessly with the surrounding landscape while also providing a distinctive architectural identity that stands out.

The structure is inspired by the concept of ripples in water, which are created by the movement of wind and water currents that originally carved out the Grand Canyon. The undulating form of the building resembles the movement of a ripple, creating a dynamic visual effect that is both striking and elegant. The organic structure exterior is clad in tinted terracotta concrete that blends into the surrounding landscape.

INSPIRATION IMAGES

Brighton, Utah

Mountain Maiden is a retreat lodge that’s opened year-round at the top of Big Cottonwood Canyon near Brighton, Utah. The lodge was inspired by European youth hostels that are available for people 18-30 years old. These hostels are often called “party hostels” because the purpose of the spaces is for people to gather, socialize, and meet new friends. This is the perfect place for a group of friends to rent a room for a weekend or for single travelers to meet new people.

The design intent was to create a lodge-style hostel that echoes the surrounding nature of the Utah mountains and highlights both the feminine and masculine traits of nature. The exterior finishes are comprised of walnut wood paneling, granite stone, and a blacked aluminum roof. The goal for the exterior was to create a modern masculine look to represent the more rugged aspects of nature; while the interior design is more traditional and organic to embody feminine qualities like colorful wildflowers, graceful streams, and unique plant textures.
