Along the front windows is a raised seating area, featuring Australia furniture and rugs. To keep the groups of seating COVID friendly, there are clear barriers.
CONCEPT Weaving the forms made in the coastline of Australia’s beaches into the city-based hotel design by focusing on the difference in the soft forms of tide marks and rigid forms of cliff side and sea stacks. I studied the forms created by the ocean along the coast of Australia. Cliffs along the entire coast of Victoria, Australia are eroded by wave action that concentrates energy in these areas. The energy continues from the horizontal movement of the ocean through the beach and gently erodes the sand creating organic, soft tide marks. As the energy from the ocean meets the cliff edges, however, it strikes the static vertical element and then disperses. This striking energy is what creates the rigid forms on the cliffs. These rigid forms of the cliffs contrast greatly with the soft edges of the beach tide marks. Looking specifically at the Twelve Apostles, located in the Port Campbell National Park, we can see erosion on the cliff side done by the powerful ocean. The Twelve Apostles were originally arches made in the cliff side, that have now become seven standing sea stacks of limestone, that are continuously being broken down by the ocean waves. This contrast in the soft tide marks created by the energetic horizontal movement of the ocean over the beach and the rigid cliff side forms created by static solid elements of the cliffs and sea stacks that stop the movement of energy, can be translated into the design of the space. Waves move towards the coastline at an angle, causing longshore drift and then return to the ocean in a straight motion. This can be shown in the design through a strong diagonal main path of travel through the space but keeping the rest of the space open to allow free movement of the ocean and an airy, soft feel of the beach. The pathway will lead to a static vertical wall to represents the cliff side. This will be the location of the elevator and staircase, just as the energy of the ocean is meeting the vertical element and moving upwards. The columns throughout the open space can symbolize the sea stacks of the Twelve Apostles located throughout the ocean.
CLIFFSIDE 02
DIAGRAMMING THE LANDSCAPE I used the Twelve Apostles, located in the Port Campbell National Park, as an inspiration / example of natural landscapes in Victoria, Australia that should be preserved. The floor plan incorporates the diagonal movement of the ocean as the main path of travel into the space towards the buffer zone, which represents the beach. The remainder of the space is open for fluid movement of water, and using the columns throughout the open space to symbolize the sea stacks. The elevator is where the cliff or private zone meets the ocean to symbolize the movement going upwards as it hits the cliff. Static, vertical elements where the energy hits - cliff Private space Horizontal open space - beach Buffer zone spaces Horizontal energetic movement ocean movement Path of travel Energetic areas - ocean Public space and guest rooms Columns in the building that can represent the apostles in the ocean

Forum Space
CONCEPT Using the pathway of the Atlanta Beltline path and major revitalization planting projects along the path for inspiration to flow and design. For the design of their new satellite office located in Atlanta, Georgia, NEXT focused on the wellbeing and health of the city and how that can translate to the wellbeing and health of the office. A unique landmark in Atlanta is the Atlanta Beltline Arboretum. The Atlanta Beltline was originally a historic railroad path that is now a multi-use trail that stretches throughout the city, creating a way for people to enjoy the outdoors and connect as a community. Along this pathway, an organization called the Trees of Atlanta, has been working on the comprehensive revitalization effort to mitigate tree loss in the city. The Beltline pathway was used to create the major paths of travel in the building space and aspects of the major planting projects done by Trees Atlanta was incorporated to different spaces in the office to bring a sense of wellbeing into the design. Continuing the idea of revitalization of greenery in the city and emphasizing wellness for the occupants of the office space, biophilic design was incorporated through the use of natural materials and colors. The goal was to create a sense of calmness for the occupants and connect to the company’s purpose. NEXT 20

COVID-19 PRECAUTIONS Placed throughout the floor plan in the open areas are round shaped sanitation stations with hand sanitizer, lysol wipes, and other disinfectants to encourage occupants to sanitize themselves and the surfaces they touch.
POSTURES The lounge areas have a variance of seating including a formal chair at a table, sofa seating, lounge chair with a movable work surface, and work pods.
PROJECT : STUMPERY GARDEN
Lounge Area On Second Floor
Trees of Atlanta utilized dead, fallen, and storm-damaged trees as a habitat to the animal and plant life along the path to revive the forest. This will represent the in-between lounge areas for employees for a quick mid-day rest or “revival”. These areas will be placed on circular forms of cork flooring to give the feeling that one is sitting on a huge tree stump on the NEXT 24 forest floor.
PROJECT : EASTSIDE AZALEA COLLECTION
OPEN OFFICE SPECIFICATIONS
Native azalea is Georgia’s State Wildflower. This collection is divided into Georgia Moon Series, fragrant white-blooming azaleas, and Georgia Sunrise to Sunset Series, warm orange, reds and soft yellow azaleas. The private offices will represent the moon series through its monotoned coloring to enhance focus and relaxation in private. The open offices will represent the sunrise to sunset series with its more vibrant coloring to enhance energy and productivity in an active zone.

PROJECT : PERSIMMON WOODS Trees of Atlanta wanted to protect this forest as it is the oldest growth forest and the home to the largest American Persimmon tree in the state of Georgia. Accents of green textured drywall are added to the finish of the traditional construction or permanent walls to emphaize the permanence of this forest in Atlanta.
PROJECT : BEECH COLLECTION This project resulted in a circle of beech trees surrounding a granite outdoor classroom or gathering place, to have an area of learning and work surrounded by nature along the path for citizens. This idea was reversed in the floor plan by placing greenhouses throughout the floor plan to create areas of nature surrounded by work.

To balance the built world and the natural world, the architectural piece should “grow naturally from the environment”, thus, the curvature of the concrete and the lighting slicing through it was created by studying the organic curves of plant leaf edges and veins.
NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE This light fixture is located in downtown Nashville, Tennessee at the Nashville / Murfreesboro bus stop. The Nashville Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) serves the downtown transit station, Music City Central. To differential each bus stop and provide transportation information to bus riders, each shelter has a map of the bus route with the current location highlighted on a glass film along the back wall of the shelter and the name of that bus stop in lights along the top front. The design of the shelter can be elongated or shortened in any direction to accommodate the different sizes of each shelter along the route.

LIGHT FIXTURE The light fixture is made out of LED illuminated frosted glass panels that are embedded in the concrete element of the shelter. LED illuminated panels reduce the power consumption by up to 45% over using fluorescent light, making them a more environmentally friendly option. These panels are called “Decrogem Light” from the company OmniDecor Products. It is a low-iron, LED light. The panel is anti-fingerprint and scratchproof to protect it from user contact, and it is made out of recyclable glass.
The light fixture is powered by solar energy with the use of photovoltaic cells to convert the sunlight absorbed during the day by the solar panels into electricity to light the fixture at night. The light is controlled by sensors. During the day, light shines on the sensors, which turns on the transistor. The transistor’s job is to amplify the current that flows through the cadmium sulfide photo-resistor or CdS cell to directly energize the relay, which is an electromechanical switch. This process turns the switch off.
BY NIGHT At night, there is no current flow from the solar panels, so the relay is not energized, and the switch turns on. The lights are lit across the length of the ceiling. The lighting found in the cement wall is lit at the top and the bottom, then fades to the center of the wall to avoid light in the user’s eyeline. BALANCE 34
