ALZHEIMER’S LIVING FACILITY

2022 | Dallas, TX | Healthcare

In this project I was tasked with redesigning the

second floor of the Vivacity Memory Care located in Dallas, TX. Having personal experience with a

loved one having Alzheimer’s, this project made

me wanted to design a space that is interactive,

welcoming, and provides a sense of independence.

When I was thinking about a concept I wanted to

relate it back to my grandma with Alzheimer’s and think about some factors that would make her experience in memory care better.

1 | Alzheimer’s Living Facility

Concept

INTERACTIVE SENSORY When Alzheimer’s patients are moved into memory care, their sense of home and belonging becomes lost, which can lead patients to become less motivated to do daily tasks. When users enter the space they should feel like they belong in this new environment they will soon call home. Throughout the building there will be sensory activities that will help them get physically active, improve cognitive ability as well as memory, and use their fine motor skills. The goal is to ensure patients are comfortable and feel like they still have a sense of control and independence with all the provided amenities they can do that will keep them active physically and mentally.

3 | Alzheimer’s Living Facility

RESEARCH + SITE ANALYSIS 6.5 million Americans 65 and over have Alzheimer’s A type of dementia that leads to memory loss and cognitive abilities that interrupt people’s daily life.

The brain has nerve cells that connects our ability to learn, think, and remember.

It begins in the part of the brain that affects learning.

MOOD BOARD + USER ANALYSIS

MOOD BOARD In this mood board I wanted to feature the different aspects of

how residents are able to use their physical and mental abilities. The

goal was to encapsulate the idea of the residents being able to have a

sense of independence and control.

USER PERSONA Susan was a housewife most of her life and was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s 10 years ago. Her family started to notice that she wasn’t able to keep track of her grandkids names, getting lost in her own home, leaving the stone turned

on, losing motivation to eat by herself, and forgetting to take daily medication. Her family wanted to move her into memory care to help her with some of her daily task challenges.

DESIGN NEEDS Increased clarity:

Accessibility:

- Color Contrast

- Wheel chair accessibility

- Way Finding - Lighting

- Clear open Pathways - Reachability

Easy orientation:

Safety:

- Designating different areas of socialization

- Ensure floors aren’t slick and furniture is accessible

- Visual Access

- Clear signage

- Providing well lit areas around the home - Soft edges to help prevent injury

Safety but Independence:

Lighting Levels:

- Guardrails or handrails

- Warmer lights for dining

- Independence and sense of control - Decrease chance of falling or tripping hazards

- Brighter lights in common areas - Low or dimmer lights for private space

CONCEPTUAL DIAGRAMMING Goals Connection | Emphasize my concept of interactive sensory Differentiate | Dividing spaces into 3 areas: Interactive, Socialization, and Quiet Area Intentional | Annotating to explain the intention of each area Strength | Enhance their experience within each space Adjacency Matrix

SUSTAINABLE HOUSING 2022 | Kansas City, KS | Housing

I was given a lot in Strawberry Hill to design a

shotgun style house. I decided to create a house for children in foster care. After working at a preschool

and having some kids that are currently in foster care I wanted to dedicate this project to them as well as a friend I grew up with who went through foster care.

Learning more about some of the challenges and

key points they wish they had while going through

the foster care system I wanted to implement those elements when developing my concept.

15 | Sustainable Housing

Concept

TRANSITIONAL This design will help highlight the transitional nature from family to foster family. The space will be inviting to children and help convert more easily.

The elements of this design will help these children to stay positive, active, and overall safe in their home.

When designing the spaces I wanted to ensure siblings could have the opportunity to stay in the same room as well as having a space they could consider to be their own by creating a welcoming environment.

17 | Sustainable Housing

RESEARCH + SITE ANALYSIS More than 23,000 kids age out of the U.S. foster care every year Emergency foster placement is a short term care solution for children who need to stay until a

more permanent family is found. Most emergency placements last any where from 72 hours to 30 days. Usually, children are reunited with their families within 10 days.

LOGO IDEATION’S

PRECEDENT STUDY This project demonstrates the high

density inner-city living and modern, functional family homes. Some of

the benefits of small scale living is

mechanical heating and cooling of the home is reduced to little more

than a single room, while proximity to public transportation gives the

family the ability to live without a car. The plan makes the most of

generous ceiling heights and precise location of joinery walls to take

advantage of the original windows on three of the four perimeter

walls. This results with a light filled living room that provides amenity commonly found in larger areas.

CONCEPTUAL DIAGRAMMING Goals

LUXURY BOUTIQUE HOTEL 2023 | London, UK | Boutique Hotel

I redesigned the four floors of the WA Hotel

Luxury based out of San Francisco, CA. In this I was tasked with selecting a country where I conducted researched about the culture of our selected

country. I chose to design the luxury hotel in

London. This project made me want to dive deeper into understanding the culture and architecture

of London since I am studying abroad there. After researching London culture and all the historic architecture it helped lead us into our design

concept. Our goal when considering design concepts is to ensure it will emphasize a sense of London through our design.

29 | Luxury Boutique Hotel

Concept

STORYTELLING Historic and modern architecture connecting the past and the present. In London, historic architecture is spread across the city and makes up a large part of the cities charm. While we are dealing with a preexisting modern building, it’s important to focus on the surrounding architecture and to build a concept that captures a style that has been integrated into the city for years. Storytelling continues to be a common practice that merges past and present together. This also extends into the actions of users in the space who will create a story of their own for the building.
