INTERIOR DESIGN PORTFOLIO

MEET THE DESIGNER

Hi! My name is Hayley Warnalis and I’m a junior at Thomas Jefferson University. While I’m open to all design realms, my heart leans towards creating immersive experiences in hospitality. I thrive on research, shaping designs that reflect human behavior and prioritize user experience. Throughout my semesters, I have found the joy in the collective creative energy, and have realized the importance that this skill will have in the professional field. Join me in creating meaningful designs, where each space tells a story of its own.

Perspective from Front Entrance

“Your assignment is to develop a new retail establishment in New Hope, Pennsylvania, a small town, north of Philadelphia. Your client would like to create a distinctive retail experience, one that takes into consideration the demographics of the area, recent retail trends and connection to community. This will not be a franchise or chain store trying to satisfy all tastes, but one that reflects a specific interest. “

Out Loud aims to empower its visitors to live out loud and be their true selves, but it recognizes that for many, this journey of self empowerment and expression is private to the general public and seeks support from within the LGBTQ+ community. As customers move up the levels, their experience gets more personal and private, but also finds the community that loves and supports them greatly. The interactive string element reflects this journey, as strings go from a backing element to show support from behind of the LGBTQ+ community and move to a frontal element that envelops the customer within a warm embrace of the community.

“You are tasked with designing a small hub on campus to educate students on stress reduction and self-care. This space will be a unique opportunity, where users will be able to use its resources to understand better how they can manage their stress and promote wellbeing. The space will be a hub for empowerment and the fostering of a community of those with similar situations. How will you inspire tranquility and promote mental health?”

All anxiety and stress experiences are different, therefore the way that one decides to manage their stress is unique to the individual. The idea of Seek and Retreat is to allow for the student to have control over the methods that they use to bring them comfort in a time of need. Whether that’s seeking the soothing scents, teas, textures, sounds and interactive elements located in the left of the structure, or retreating to the cozy pods where they are able to take time to themselves, and control the lighting, sounds and even watch a comforting show or guided meditation. The Seek and Retreat hub educates visitors on the influence that sense stimulation has on stress and the many ways to evoke those senses positively.

“An interactive installation for stress education, wellness and self care. Build. Select one of the methods of stress reduction designed in the first part of this project and build it as an installation on campus to be tested by students during the first week of exams. Test. The creation of the installation and the testing go hand in hand and are both integral parts of this project. Photograph. Be sure to artistically document both your process and your final installation.”

The Peg Wall installation, an extension of the stress relief hub, offers a respite within the main building at Jefferson during the stressful final exam season. Crafted at a 1:1 scale from bamboo, cardboard, and wood, the installation channels biophilic elements, offering students a natural and calming environment. Inspired by the therapeutic power of play, this tactile experience not only serves as a stress-relief hub but also seamlessly integrates with studies, enhancing focus and well-being. As an embodiment of both design and research, the Peg Wall stands as a testament to the intersection of creativity, education, and self-care.

“Philadelphia is looking to build a local community mentor center in South Philadelphia that supports the local needs of the community. A historic warehouse facility has been picked for the location. Philadelphia is partnering with a non-profit community-based organization, Senior/Child Mentors, which serves both senior citizens (65+ yrs.) and school age pre-teens (5-12 yrs). The organization’s philosophy is based on the concept ‘it takes a village to raise a child.’”

Blooming Connections Mentor Center is based on an idea that embodies the power of growth and the potential of every child. The entrance of the center is designed to symbolize a seed being planted, representing the need for safety and guidance in order for children to flourish. As visitors make their way down the central path, they are reminded of the journey of growth, passing by areas for 1-1, small group, and large group connections. These areas are designed to accommodate the varying needs of each child, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to thrive. At the heart of the center is the great room, a space where seniors can share their knowledge and wisdom with the next generation.

Your clients are two physicians who have partnered up to open their own medical office. Though they plan to serve all age demographics, they want to target young professionals creating a contemporary “place” which is calm, comfortable, and a positive experience for all guests. The space should be modern, using contemporary forms, colors, lighting and materials. Your clients want the office to express current technical expertise with an appealing aesthetic. The interior should present a professional technical office.

Koi Dental creates a tranquil and immersive experience for patients, where the tranquility and movement of aquatic life seamlessly blend with stateof-the-art dental technology. From the moment patients enter, they are transported into an underwater world where the soothing colors, textures, and imagery of fish provide a calming atmosphere. Within the curved walls, patients are safe and protected, allowing their worries and stressors to wash away with the tide. Throughout the office, the incorporation of natural materials allows the patient to feel the underwater environment and aesthetic, while also reaffirming the focus on sustainability.

06 - SUSTAINABLE BUS STOP

Adaptive & Resilient Design Studio | Fall 2023 | Prof. Arpita Ganti Graduate Level Course

overall objective for Project 1 is to design an outdoor or semi-outdoor space on the PhilaU campus at the corner of Henry Ave and School House Lane. The corner is a high traffic route for pedestrians, who are mostly PhilaU students and faculty traveling to different parts of the campus. There is also a bus stop on the corner. Vehicular traffic is heavy at times, and is sometimes dangerous. Henry Avenue is a busy four lane road that is congested during rush hours.

Thoughtfully designed for passive functionality, this innovative stop harnesses the power of nature to enhance user comfort and minimize environmental impact. Our sustainable bus stop in Philadelphia embodies passive design principles, maximizing shade and sunlight with operable slats, thermal mass materials, and a green roof. It offers students, staff, and commuters an eco-friendly and comfortable waiting experience.

The

A: A green roof helps to insulate the space underneath, keeping it cooler on warm days and warmer on cool days. Additionally, the introduction of native plants benefits local pollinators and birds in the area. Inviting birds into the space is beneficial for those waiting, as birdsong has been found to reduce stress (Van Vliet).

B: The use of thermal mass materials, in this case concrete and natural stone, aims to absorb heat during the day and release it at night, helping to regulate the temperatures of those waiting.

C: Slats that open to allow southwesterly summer winds give the users control if they feel as though they need to introduce extra ventilation. By giving the users control, it allows for a more pleasant experience for all, as “Buildings that are passive, adaptive and free running can help us remain comfortable and safe” (ATC

D: A solid wall blocks the northwesterly winds of the winter, helping to keep users warmer during those cold days.
