NATURAL PLAYGROUND
repurposing existing site trees into playground “equipment”
Soft curves and repetitive patterns borrowed from the natural world help to strengthen the child’s need to connect with nature. With whimsical tree structures and bubbly windows, these organic shapes enrich the overall learning environment.
Within the Natural Playground, many of the play structures were repurposed from existing trees on site. Having the branches air-dried on campus before installation provided a unique teaching moment for the children. It allowed them to interact with the tree, see it age and learn how the tree can be recycled.

COURTYARD
The preservation of an existing Monkeypod tree, donated by the late Martin Luther King Jr, informed the building’s massing.
COMMONS
Common areas utilize north facing windows to let in ambient light. At the south, a generous window with views to the monkeypod tree sitting before the Waikiki skyline.
EXPERIENCE
ALCOVES
Staggered dorm units create pockets of communal areas for students to retreat from their private dwellings. Light and the outdoors are welcomed into the space.

GOOD
Implementation of biophilic design increases occupant conectivity to the natural environment.
Plants and vines crawl in, out, and over structures to blur the lines of natural and built elements.
BRINGING TEXTURE INDOORS
Materials were selected and designed to mimic the textures and colors of the natural environment, contain a relevance to culture and place, and encourage interactions between materials and people.
NATURE AS ART
Textures, colors, and forms found in nature prove to be visually pleasing to the eye. The reception lobby features a large wallmounted art piece that seems to swirl and flow like crashing waves or ripples in the sand.
FRAMING VIEWS
With such beautiful views surrounding all sides of the hotel, it is essential to provide access to these views from the interior spaces. The windows are shaped and placed in a fashion where one might mistake the windows and view for a piece of artwork hanging on the wall.

EXTENSION
“BUILDING CONNECTIONS”
the new building becomes an extension from the existing courtyard and structures, bridging the barrier between the two
STEP 1
“Preservation”
Preserve and celebrate existing La’amia and Monkeypod trees by designing the building’s massing around them. Maintain existing building characteristics and courtyard space.
STEP 2
“Underground”
Explore potential utilization of underground space to retain outdoor functions and green areas. Maintain open views to and from building while paying respect to existing building elevations.
STEP 3
“Centralization”
Locate the multipurpose assembly in a centralized location to create efficient circulation. Create strong relationships/connections to surrounding program.
STEP 4
“Connection”
Create connections between the users, indoors, and outdoors. Allow natural daylight into the spaces. Bridge existing circulation to create new access points and new views.
Existing La’amia and Monkeypod trees have signficance to school and site. Their preservation is essential.
Building form is defined by the location of existing trees. It curves through gaps in between.
EXTENSION OF COURTYARD
The building’s roof becomes an extension of the central courtyard; creating an increase in usable space and more variation in programmatic uses
EXTENSION OF BUILDING
The building reaches out as an extension of the existing building.
The new space welcomes people as they enter the school grounds
