The Zen Den seeks to create a neuro-inclusive space that minimizes overwhelming stimuli for neurodivergent university art students aged 18-26 who experience sensory dysregulation and difficulties processing sensory stimuli.
Site Location: University of North Texas College of Visual Art and Design Rooftop Garden, Denton, TX
Technologies Used: Revit, Enscape
Awards: Submitted to 2023 IDEC Juried Student Competition by department
GOALS
• Accommodate hypersensitive and hyposensitive users
• Improve self-regulation
• Enhance mental wellbeing
SOLUTIONS
• Remote rooftop location
• Furniture choices
• Lighting controls
• Temperature controls
• Degrees of privacy
• Soothing color palette
• Biophilic design
competition fall 2023
The fourth floor Art and Design building rooftop patio observes less foot traffic than other floors of the art building, making it an ideal choice for a quiet mindscape. Rooftop access allows for natural lighting and views of nature, central to the Zen Den’s biophilic design goals.
A hypersensitive student may visit the Zen Den and elect to spend time in one of two privacy pods designed to encourage alone time. A hyposensitive student pursuing sensory input may enter the Zen Den for its controllable stimulants and positive distractions.
The Zen Den’s skylight, large window, and indoor water feature contribute to biophilic design. By introducing natural stimuli into the environment, the Zen Den provides a positive auditory experience, cues the body’s sleep-wake cycle, and increases comfort levels, boosting mental health.

My artistic inspiration is derived from sentimental memories central to my identity. Each subject matter is chosen with intentionality and the desire to honor impactful experiences or objects that compose my surroundings.
The following works were completed within university curricula and granted me the opportunity to express my perception of intangible feelings. The following pieces were completed in my favorite mediums, gouache paint and charcoal pencil.
Mediums: Gouache paint, charcoal pencil
MUNDANE MONOCHROMATIC
Photograph an everyday object and create a monochromatic artwork. Chosen color must be the color that appears the least in the photograph.
Gouache paint and gold leaf, 2021
STILL LIFE
Arrangement and composition of a still life scene followed by charcoal illustration. Depiction of a metronome, a horse statue, and a candle snuffer.
Charcoal pencil, 2021
DRAWING IN TIME
Capture three photographs of the same location over time and illustrate three of the resulting photographs. Selection of one piece from the series showcasing a hopper and tennis balls on a tennis court.
