scandare

In response to the beginning of the COVID19 pandemic, the M1 Fall 2020 semester focused on designing for wellness. While wellness can be defined in many ways, my project examines how a sense of spirituality can encourage mental and emotional wellness. Scandare is a wellness center focusing on evoking transcendence through experiences with water, art, and nature. This project was influenced by Julio Burmudez’s book, Transcending Architecture, as well as by traditional notions of sacred geometry, ritual, and procession. By taking a phenomenological approach to the design of the building, each space considers how aspects of ritual can be established through sensory experiences, and how a sequential journey can be encouraged. Through this journey, your focus is taken away from the stresses of everyday life and towards finding moments of peace and awe.

hotel royale

m.arch 2 arch 700: senior research studio i instructors: Kate Allen, Kelly Morrison, and Kristen Lien The Royal Hotel becomes the Hotel Royale, a living room for the city. The project is a renovation of the historic landmark in Fernie, British Columbia. The strategic push and pull of the existing building structure invites the public realm in and encourages social interaction. Diverse and community-driven hospitality offerings act as a destination that facilitates a symbiotic relationship between locals and tourists.

Portions of the building facade are sliced and pushed or pulled different depths. The new facade becomes porous glass, opening up the building to the public.
