INSPIRATION | Dallas, Texas Districts
CONCEPT | Fusion of Spaces
Inspired by how these 30+ districts overlap and transition into one another the idea of Fusion is explored. Fusion is the act of joining two things to create something new. Fusion can be translated into creating places of “relief” on the spatial layout. The idea of fusion is to create a new place to support the needs of each employees working style, wellness and productivity. 4 Types of Fusion are explored Focus, Huddle, Collaborate, and "Pause" space Relaxation
PROCESS | Abstract of Fusion Defining Spaces
Program requirements allude to Dallas's diverse districts. The intentional overlapping creates a new place creating in between spaces Focus, Huddle, collaborate and "Pause" space relaxation featuring amenities to support the employees wellbeing.

Hybrid Working Styles Me + We
Fusion also speaks to the idea of the hybrid working style. The idea of creating an environment that supports the users in the room while not compromising the users online. These working areas are supported through innovation and technology. Huddle, Focus and Collaboration areas give the user an opportunity to change their environment to promote an efficient, inclusive and inviting design. This will help promote the in person office experience.

Materiality is drawn from the city's modern skyline and rich cultural heritage. The predominant color scheme revolves around various shades of blue inspired from the tranquil waters of near by lakes creating a calming and inviting atmosphere.
Complementing the blues are dark wood tones that evoke a sense of timeless sophistication. Adding warmth and depth. These dark wood elements are strategically incorporated into furniture, wall paneling, and flooring, providing a refined contrast to the vibrant blues.

CONCEPT | Erosion
The process of erosion in a spatial layout is defined by organic shapes establishing hierarchy in levels of form . The implied “layering” with the intended levels of privacy defines the space with organic features in result of each level of privacy.
PROCESS | Abstract of Erosion Through Space
Abstract Diagramming of erosion through a cube demonstrates the curvilinear organic forms resulted in the constant movement.

Co-Working Office
Refined Co-Working is located in the historic district of Roanoke, Virginia. The 7,500 square foot remodeled industrial warehouse offers a variety of amenities and work stations. 8 private offices, 20+ hot desks and 3 lounge areas are available for use in the space. A community space open to the public is located on the first floor.
The Start-Up company that occupies the space is a mobile app called “Yuka”; an app that scans bar-codes of beauty products and food items to identify if the product is “clean or dirty”.

Yuka is a mobile app committed to help customers identify the potential risks associated with personal care products. Just as the app “filters” each product, it gives the item a score between 1-5. 1 being “dirtiest” and 5 being the “cleanest”. It filters out the harmful ingredients that may be hidden at first.
28
Concept:
Translating that into the spatial layout, refined is designed with the intention to filter people throughout the space. With degrees of disclosure, as one progresses throughout the space one becomes “filtered”. Beginning in the most public setting, one begins to move more gradually to private areas such as private offices, conference rooms and a quieter setting. Reaching the most disclosed private areas makes you most “refined”.
