COLLECTIVE GALLERY

CONCEPT STATEMENT

Collective gallery is designed around the idea of creating an interior where guest and artist feel welcomed The design will offer a sense of community by providing opportunities to interact with different artist as well as those comi to see the art.

By using the natural elements of the building, such as the concrete floors and tin ceiling, it will allow for the art to stan more without taking away the history of the building. Integrating the rolling walls in the space offers the ability to play w layout of the space with the many different exhibitions coming into the gallery.

CLIENT IDENTITY

After being married for 24 years now, Emma and Andrew have decided to relocate after Andrew retired from Florence, AL to Watertown, NY , where they had family vacations every summer.

The outdoor activities and the towns history became inspiration for Andrew’s paintings and Emma's pottery.

Combining the sketch of plant veins with gallery name to show connection between the concept and name.

FIRST FLOOR

When you first enter the gallery, you are welcomed with a clean and comforting environment that brings in green and mountain scape connected to the surround town.

The clients are also bringing in the historical elements of the building like the exposed brick wall along the staircase, the tin ceiling that were very popular in this town, and the natural wood that has been reworked into the staircase and front desk.

The column is sloped into the floor to show that it is growing from the environment. It is also used to hold art The height of the base curve is 1’ 4 1/8” following the ADA under 30” height

The goal of the design for the third floor was to bring the same finishes that you can see through out the gallery spaces, such as the concrete flooring, touches of green and natural wood elements.

The third floor was also a chance to allow for the personalization of the clients love of historical elements and darker tones which is brought through in the dining room pendants lights, dining chairs that will also follow into the living room furniture selections.

CLARK HALL

SAVANNAH COLLEGE OF ART AND DESIGN

”THIRD PLACE” THEORY

Third place is a term that refers to places where people spend time between home (‘first’ place) and work (‘second’ place). They are locations where we exchange ideas, have a good time, and build relationships.

THIRD FLOOR

SECOND FLOOR

FIRST FLOOR

CONCEPT STATEMENT

The design aims at using the influence of Parisian Renaissance architecture to create inviting collaborative spaces and a third-place environment, a space where ideas are exchanged, memories are created, and relationships are built. This is done through offering a multitude of open lounge spaces, health focused environments and additional access to the outdoors.

MENTAL

SOCIAL NATURE

Communal areas throughout the building promote collaboration and offer various ways for group need personalization Using private spaces to offer light therapy to stimulate the user with physical and mental needs.

Outdoor access is offered to encourage connection with the environment to recharge and restore their minds.

RED LIGHT

Red light therapy can impart beneficial impacts on the brain by stimulating the mitochondria, which are the parts if the body's cells that produce energy. Stimulating the mitochondria with concentrated red & near-frared light provides an antiinflammatory effect throughout the body & increases circulation.

COLLABORATION SPACE

BLUE LIGHT

Blue lights effects your eyes, sleep and health. Blue light is part of the visible light spectrum –what the human eye can see. Vibrating within the 380 to 500 nanometer range, it has the shortest wavelength and highest energy. Blue light boosts alertness, helps memory and brain function, and elevates mood. It regulates your body's natural wake and sleep cycle

(circadian rhythm)

GREEN LIGHT

Researchers have found that green light promotes sleep and that a narrow band of green light can help people who suffer from migraines by producing smaller electrical signals in the eyes and brain. Green light therapy stimulates the creation of growth hormones and strengthens muscles.

ATTENTION RESTORATION THEORY

VISUAL CONNECTION TO NATURE

A view to elements of nature, living systems & natural processes

NON - VISUAL CONNECTION TO NATURE

Auditory, haptic, olfactory, or gustatory stimuli that engender a deliberate & positive reference to nature, living systems or natural processes.

NON - RHYTHMIC SENSORY STIMULI

Stochastic & ephemeral connections with nature that may be analyzed statistically but may not be predicted precisely.

PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY

Using culture for permanence with awareness it will become the past.

I used the way the creek flows into my family’s farm land as the ”streams” running through the center of my model.
