THE LANDING

The Landing Apartments harmonize simplicity and function. Curved elements flow seamlessly through the space, echoing the organic forms found in nature and fostering a sense of calm and connection. These organic forms are complemented by custom built-ins that offer ample storage, while maintaining the clean, uncluttered aesthetic central to Scandinavian design. The color palette is simple with an emphasis on blue, beige, and green tones, and 3 different woods, which together create a serene and inviting atmosphere. Each element within the space, from the tactile finishes to the functional built-ins, is a testament to the designs commitment to creating movement, connecting to nature, and providing a calm environment that focuses on the wellness of its user.

OLD CITY HALL + THE VAULT

The adaptive reuse project of Old City Hall in Lincoln, NE, fuses architecture, landscape, and interiors to create a unique historical experience that brings new life into this cherished building while preserving its architectural heritage. The project serves the immediate walkable community, which ebbs and flows throughout the year; this encompasses students, professionals, and visitors to the city and university. The primary objective of this adaptive reuse project is to create a multifunctional space that fosters community engagement, supports local businesses, and revitalizes the downtown area. Focusing on restoring designed elements such as the dark wood, limestone exterior, the interior columns and beams, and maintaining the existing exterior plants will allow the building to sustain its cultural importance. By thoughtfully blending the building’s

historic

character

with

modern,

sustainable elements and existing landscape, and re-using forms from the original design, the project will offer an unforgettable destination for its visitors.

NEXT OFFICE

Workplace design is trending towards user well-being, collaboration, and sustainability. With Gen Z predicted to become 27 percent of the workforce by 2025, a productive yet comfortable space for these young professionals to accomplish their work is crucial. The design for the NEXT office utilizes flexible lighting and furniture, areas for wellness, and a calm, yet welcoming material palette with wood accents to encourage a dynamic work environment. Prioritizing work-life balance within this design also imparts a sense of home to its users to focus on mental health and well-being.

Additionally,

sustainable

techniques

have

been

incorporated into the space such as large windows for natural light, sustainable and recycled materials, and indoor plants to improve air quality.

NEXT is a progressive and global architecture and interior design firm based in Los Angeles. With expected growth in the future, they are opening an office in Dallas, Texas. By providing flexible workspaces, access to nature, and sustainable elements, users will be able to work collaboratively and productively, while also maintaining a healthy balance between life and work.
