Area: 13,000 Sq. ft

Property Type: Residential

Professional Project

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Hill View, a luxurious home design spanning over 13,000 square feet set against the tranquil landscape is located in Indore, India. Hill View offers a peaceful retreat from the bustling city life. Residents can enjoy the beauty of nature right from their doorstep, with stunning views of the nearby hills. Residents of Hill View can indulge in a range of luxurious amenities, including a well-appointed kitchen, spa-like bathrooms, landscaped gardens, and a private terrace to soak in the panoramic views.

FORM FORMATION

The building's composition is a harmonious interplay of rectilinear volumes, delineated by crisp edges and defined by proportional relationships, creating a sense of order and stability within its architectural expression. Each rectangular form, carefully arranged in sequence, contributes to the building's overall visual rhythm and spatial coherence, embodying a timeless elegance in its design.

GROUND FLOOR CONCEPT

The Hill View house is surrounded by nature which revolve around harmonizing the interior with the natural surroundings, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. The concept for the house is on the idea of "organic luxury," where natural elements and materials are integrated into the design to complement the outdoor landscape. This involves large windows that frame panoramic views of the surrounding nature using sustainable and locally sourced materials like wood, stone, and glass, and incorporating biophilic design principles to bring elements of nature indoors.

WINTHROP MEDICAL CENTER

Location: 530 Spring St, Arkansas

Area: 16,00Sq. ft

Project Type: Remodeling Heritage Building

Academic Project

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Situated at 530 Spring St in Winthrop, within the picturesque Little River Country on the southwest border of Arkansas, stands a two-story 1913 Georgian Colonial Revival Style school building. This historic gem is proudly listed on the Arkansas Register of Historic Places. For this building, the project entails a revolutionary undertaking. Specifically, one half of the first floor will be transformed into a modern medical facility, and the other half will remain a museum.

CONCEPT

The concept was around the idea of "a Life Space”, a welcoming space. Lewin (1936) a German-American psychologist defined 'life space' as the sum of all the effects on a person at any given time, including both the exterior and interior personal environments. The conceptualization of field theory and 'life space' necessitates a way of viewing outcomes that takes into consideration the interplay between the person and the environment.

DESIGN APPORACH

The goal is to utilize the available space effectively by seamlessly integrating plants, natural elements, ample natural light, and a clean, minimalist aesthetic into the design. This involves strategically placing greenery to enhance indoor air quality, incorporating biophilic elements to create a sense of calm and connection with nature, and utilizing materials like wood, stone, and earthy textures to promote a serene ambiance. Maximizing natural light through thoughtful window placements and open layouts not only reduces energy usage but also enhances the overall atmosphere of the space. By adhering to clean design principles and ensuring clutter-free environments, the objective is to create spaces that support hygiene standards and tranquility, ultimately fostering wellness, productivity, and a harmonious experience for occupants within the given space constraints.

NATURE HEALING

Incorporating natural plants into a medical center offers numerous benefits that contribute to a healthier and more pleasant environment for patients and staff alike. Studies have shown that exposure to nature, even in indoor settings with plants, can lead to faster recovery times and improved overall well-being.

"Contact with nature offers restorative benefits, promoting healing and enhancing the quality of life in healthcare environments."

El ocaso is Spanish word for "sunset."

With a backdrop of centuriesold trees, picturesque trails, and iconic landmarks like the Golden Gate Bridge, an American cafe in the Presidio could offer patrons an immersive dining experience a blend of culinary delights with a view. Designing a cafe for such location adorned with shades of vibrant blue and pink, epitomizes a fusion of psychological, behavioral, and cultural elements in design. The deliberate choice of calming blue and inviting pink hues creates an ambiance that not only soothes patrons but also encourages conviviality and relaxation, aligning perfectly with Miami's energetic cultural vibe.
