JotDown Organizing your ideas.

JotDown’s first concept came about early this year with the main goal of organizing and storing important information digitally, but also to create a collaborative and interactive platform for family and friends to share, add items, and commmunicate about any tasks at hand directly in the application.

Users are encouraged to create an account so that their notes can be synchronized onto different devices to create a seamless transision between systems.

CONCEPT Have you ever had an idea that pops into your mind?

And you struggle to find anywhere to write it down?

This is the main idea behind the design, to allow users to quickly open the app via a widget on their home screen, saving previous time of unlocking the phone and scrolling to the app on the home screen. .

ACCESSIBILITY

Inside the app, a large button in the middle of the app is chosen as it provides accessibility for anyone to open a new note pad during a rush.

PRIVACY MATTERS

user’s view There are things we share, and things we don’t share.

JotDown allows you to customize privacy settings.

public view Viewable contents are limited to personal or public. Here, users can see any publically shared content such as Stacy grandma’s chicken soup.

SHARING

Planning is crucial to make the most out of a trip. This is why JotDown allow users to share their notes with others on the same trip. Each user will have a unique color for them to identify who generated the message.

SHARING

Stacy Grandma’s chicken has been in the family for generations and everyone loves it.

With public notes, Stacy can share the legendary soup recipe with anyone while keeping her other notes private.

Finca Ebbrezza

Wine tasting room, designed with culture in mind.

Inspired by local cultural characteristics and design, this structure on a vineyard, located within a protected heritage zone in Priorat, Spain inherits many venacular features.

To support local businesses and reinforce its cultural identiy, bricks and corten steel is used as the main building material, which also provides passive shading for the main tasting room on the upper floor.

ESG Assessment Public Realm:

Light: Privately owned public space is an emerging trend in New York City that provides the general public access to a public space that is theraputic for the soul and adds beauty in to the city.

Triple-glazed large windows ensures adequate natural light for the office space but also reduces electricity consumption and reduce carbon emission.

It is important for the office building to intergrate itself with the public realm by providing a green space for the city.

Green space attracts people and animals, and acts as a gathering space during lunch break and weekends.

Neutral colors create a welcoming mood for employees and visitors.

This increases productivity and generates more positive energy.
