The 18th

Breakfast & Lunch Cafe

Retail Project - Spring 2023

Co-Designer: Grayson Avriett 01

Project Brief

Over the course of four weeks, myself and a fellow design student were tasked with designing a breakfast and lunch cafe located at the Cascades Mixed Use Development, adjacent to Tallahassee’s famous Cascades Park. Using Revit, Enscape, and Photoshop, we were put to the test to create an exciting and memorable project that was ultimately chosen to be displayed on site.

Site Context

The breakfast and lunch cafe is located in suite 113 of the Cascades Mixed Use Development and is approximately 2,600 square feet. With values rooted in collaboration and community engagement, The 18th includes a full bar, booth and chair table seating options, and a retail addition that sells merchandise reflective of the company’s brand. Designed with working individuals in mind, The 18th is the perfect place to bring a client or enjoy a luxurious lunch break. Unlike other nearby restaurants, The 18th caters to daytime attendance and welcomes all ages on weekends. The cafe is reminiscent of a 1920s speakeasy, calling on the feelings of freedom and nostalgia after the 18th Amendment repealed prohibition. Universal design principles such as equitable use, perceptible information, and appropriate size and space for approach and use were implemented throughout the design to ensure accessibility for all users.

Welcome to The 18th

Upon entering the space, customers are greeted by the host stand and welcomed into the café. The warm color scheme and nostalgic mood aid in creating an opulent atmosphere that acts as the perfect place to host client meetings or luxurious lunch breaks for the tenants of the surroundings businesses. The large wall in the main dining space is adorned with images from the 1920s in gilded frames to tie the concept into the design.

Design Process Concept Development

The design of the 18th is inspired by the concept of contemporary nostalgia, the idea of integrating past events with present experiences. The space will elicit feelings of opulence and sophistication through the use of contrasting materials, delineated spaces, and strategic branding placement to immerse users in experiences of the past. Inspired by a 1920s speakeasy with a modern twist, The 18th will stand out amongst neighboring establishments, creating an intriguing space for business associates to patron. With the mood of the space in mind, emphasis, unity, contrast, and color will lead the design in creating a posh atmosphere, while drawing users into the notion of contemporary nostalgia.

Branding & Universal Design Principles

The name "The 18th" is inspired by the 18th Amendment, which repealed prohibition and also the 18th century, which is when coffee was introduced to America. Photos of this era are displayed throughout the cafe. Products are displayed along the walls on industrial-style shelving units with storage on the bottom for overstock. The exposed shelves with industrial pipes is reminiscent of the 1920s and contributes to the branding. The Retail Space shows a takeout area for patron to easily grab their food as well as merchandise with The 18th’s logo.

Initial Space Planning

The Bubble Diagram shows the rough draft of the initial space planning process, noting important adjacencies between spaces, primarily the kitchen, bar, and takeout areas to allow for easy flow for staff bringing out food.

The Bar Experience

The Blocking Diagram shows a more refined draft of the space planning process, taking into account square footage as relative to the given building shell.

The bar is the focal point of the space, drawing patron’s eyes to the eclectic colors and contrasting materials that create a moody and comforting atmosphere. It includes a built-in shelving unit with an antique mirrored backing which beckons users with its enticing curvilinear shape, inviting customers to take a seat and enjoy an additional space to bask in the nostalgic design.

universal ADA restrooms, a fully equipt kitchen, and options between banquette, bistro, and outside seating. As customers enter the space, they are greeted by a host and taken to their seat. When they leave, users are directed to the exit door within the retail space, enticing them to purchase merchandise on their way out.

The mezzanine that makes up level two take up approximately one third of the cafe space. The mezzanine consists of bistro tables and a banquette booth seating option for large parties. The shape and size of the second level offers users an intriguing view of level one and the bar below.

Reflected Ceiling Plans

The reflected ceiling plan of level one shows the acoustical ceiling tile and recessed troffers in the kitchen, pendants over the curvilinear bar, and custom lighting reminiscent of a grid in the retail space and above the bistro seating. The industrial feel of the materials used drives home the concept of contemporary nostalgia, and adds visual interest to the space.

HARBORSIDE HEALING

Baltimore Pediatric Clinic

HARBORSIDE HEALING 02

Baltimore Pediatric Clinic

Healthcare Project - Fall 2023

Project Brief

Completed over approximately ten weeks, this newly constructed pediatric primary care clinic in Baltimore, Maryland will provide comprehensive pediatric primary care from birth to age eighteen with accommodations to treat behavioral health issues. The clinic’s design scope will include Exam Rooms, Public Areas, both Administrative and Physician Workrooms, a Manager’s Office, Nurse’s Station, Staff Lounge, Medical Room, Soil Room, both Family Restrooms and Staff Restrooms, a Patient Education Space, and an Outdoor Area.

Site Context

The clinic is located at 10 N Green St, Baltimore, Maryland, at the site of the existing VA Medical Center in Downtown Baltimore. The provided clinic shell is approximately 3,267 square feet with a 272 square foot outdoor garden area. Only 3 blocks from Baltimore’s famous Inner Harbor, Harborside Healing gets in name from this popular attraction and connects the visitor and their caregiver to nature to ease anxiety when in the clinic.

Welcome to Harborside Healing

Patients and visitors are welcomed into the clinic through reception and guided into the adjacent waiting area. The waiting area includes an interactive space dedicated to young patients, providing positive distractions and visual excitement. While visitors are waiting, they are encouraged to find comfort in the earth-tone colors and motifs reminiscent of the natural environment.

DESIGN PROCESS

Concept Development

When faced with feelings of stress or anxiety, it is paramount to feel understood and be put at ease. The Harborside Healing Pediatric Clinic located in Baltimore, Maryland is driven and inspired by the concept that purpose fuels passion. Passionate healthcare professionals will lead each patient interaction to ensure that they have a positive understanding of the clinic and feel inspired to overcome their personal struggles. The design itself will lend to its purpose that each person entering the clinic is living an individual experience. The design will be supported by Ulrich’s theory of supportive design and will include intuitive wayfinding, colorful graphics, and connections to nature to ease any anxieties or fears. The idea that purpose fuels passion drives home the notion that healing is not linear, and each person’s journey is their own.

Branding & Universal Design Principles

The chosen branding elements all connect the user to the natural environment. A soft earth-tone color scheme, natural materials, and a title referring to Baltimore’s Inner Harbor all relate users to nature, which accordingly, promotes the comfortability of the space, easing anxiety and providing patients, visitors, and care providers with a positive experience in the clinic. The fonts used are child-like and easy for users to understand.

Workplace Project - Spring 2023

Project Brief

Over the course of ten weeks, I was tasked to design an inclusive, hybrid workplace for a forward-thinking multicultural marketing firm in Nashville, Tennessee. To plan and design the new office space, the project required work space on two levels for approximately 35 employees, including Agile Workstations and offices for executive staff, Short and Long-term Enclaves, Meeting Spaces, Soft Seating Areas, and a Monumental Stair to create a welcoming and motivating working atmosphere that reflects the values and mission of the assigned company, Zubi.

Site Context

The new build site is located in Nashville, Tennessee and is approximately 10,000 square feet. The front of the building faces south, southeast on Jefferson Street. This street is considered an arterial street of Nashville, so it does get busy during rush hour. The site is surrounded by apartment buildings on three sides, blocking mountain views. The buildings have enough distance between the site that Zubi will still have access to some daylight.

Conference Room Waiting

The view of the level two Conference Waiting Area provides viewers with a glimpse into how natural light plays a role in this suite. The large windows bring in an abundance of natural light and offers employees a visual break from working on computers or in offices. A cutout in the floor allows users to have visual access to level 1 and offers another view of the Monumental Stair.

Zubi Advertising Agency

DESIGN PROCESS

Concept Development

The workplace designed for Zubi Advertising will incorporate the properties of the understanding of meraki, meaning to do something with soul, creativity, or love; to put something of yourself in your work. Zubi’s mission is to work with a purpose to represent customers, the community, and the brands they advertise for. The design will highlight the personal needs of Zubi employees within the space to motivate and enlighten the advertisers and executives. The style of the space will reflect the versatility of the work the company produces and be reminiscent of its origin in Miami, Florida, to include bold colors and organic shapes. The design will incorporate various spaces for the staff to work, including offices for executive level staff, and common areas for employees to come together and collaborate. The workplace will be open and inviting to dismantle hierarchical stereotypes that may prevent junior staff from openly collaborating with executives. Furniture will be arranged in circles and themes of rounded edges will be present throughout the space to evoke comfort and, with colors that promote productivity. Staff will feel motivated to come to work and provide results with pride.

Environmental Preference Theory

The theory studies how people process environmental information and how or if they need to make more sense of their environment to better predict what may occur and to plan their actions accordingly. Kaplan and Kaplan developed this theory according to four elements: coherence, legibility, complexity, and mystery. Coherence refers to the way the average person makes sense of an environment through understandable context. Legibility refers to how an individual is able to understand the scene and the objects within it. Complexity relates to the number of different understandable components within the space. Mystery is how much an environment contains hidden information or requires further understanding. (Kopec, D. (2012).

Welcome to Zubi Advertising

The view of Reception offers viewers a glimpse into the main entry space of the Zubi office. The Reception aims to evoke excitement for clients to work with Zubi and trust that this company can meet their advertising needs.
