Hope Weaver

I am a graduate of MTSU looking to pursue a career in hospitality design. I have always been drawn to the personalized amount of detail that makes each hospitality project holistic and distinct.

Throughout my undergraduate studies, I fell in love with design and designing with intention. When I realized the amount of depth interior design can offer to a space, experience, or person, I knew I wanted to contribute. Now, I desire to conceptualize meaningful public spaces and bring those ideas to fruition for everyone to experience.

SPACE PLANNING

Zoning and circulation are primary considerations when designing a multi-level, multi-department project. Wide hallways surround the shell of the building and lead to other routes of circulation to prevent traffic congestion. Each open office sector is situated adjacent to its leading officer’s private office. All private offices contain glass fronts and are offset from the exterior walls to allow daylight to flood the open offices and enter their office as well. The monumental stairs add scale to the space and provide vertical movement between the two floors. They located directly in front of the elevators to draw clients’ into the space and reception area.

WELLNESS COMMUNITY

IAM Wellness Community is a holistic, human-centered memory care establishment located in Fort Worth, TX. The design intent allows its residents to reclaim their sense of autonomy. People with memory degenerative diseases, such as dementia and Alzheimer’s, require more assistance, supervision, and security than those in an assisted living facilities. Because of this, they often lose their voice during the decisionmaking process of their treatment decisions and feel dependent on others. IAM’s priority is facilitating a business model and environment that allows for personalized support, identity reclamation, and end-user comfort.

People with these diseases often lose their way, making wayfinding incorporation vital to the design of their environment. Providing signs with words and icons, contrast between the floor plane and seating, and incorporating solid or small pattern textures are key elements when designing specifically for users in memory care. Implementing elements of biophilia to increase the patients’ connection to nature promotes the health and welfare of both patients and staff. At IAM, the daily affirmation is “I am” to remind patients about their present state, that they are strong, active, and healthy and to not dwell on the “I was” statements.
