Concept Statement
NEXT decided to invest in a new research and development facility in the seaport district of Boston, Massachusetts. Also known as the innovation district, and the home to leading industries in biotechnology, engineering, information technology, and finance, it is the ideal location for the company. The Seaport Boulevard has seven polychromatic sculptures installation called the “Air Sea Land” designed by Okuda San Miguel. The new space will reflect his themes of life and coexistence and the mythological edge where the animal kingdom encountered the human world. Drawing inspiration from their products' sleek stylish designs, and design theories like functionalism while also giving the nod to local art the new space will reflect the company and all they stand for.

HOMETREE
02
The Hometree wellness center provides healthcare executives an urban retreat for preventing diseases and restoring health. According to the 2020 census report, Dallas had a 1,438 to 1 patient to primary care physician ratio. This indicates increasing work-related stress levels for healthcare professionals. The wellness center design focuses on creating a healing environment for the healers. The design is derived from the concept of a nurturing forest which drives the spatial planning, material selections, and color scheme. Biophilia has been used throughout the space to increase users’ direct and indirect contact with nature to improve both clients and employees’ mental state. Comfort theory and interior ecosystem theory have also been incorporated into the design process for the end users to experience physical, psychospiritual, sociocultural, and environmental comfort. “The immediate state of being strengthened as through having the human needs for relief, ease, and transcendence addressed in the four contexts of experience.”
