A cove is a peaceful nook of a body of water where the waves meet the land. They are secluded little spaces that are quiet and serene. Throughout the design, the curved shape of a cove will influence many aspects of the project. The floor plan will follow along the curved edge of the river on the site and use the landscape to bring the design into nature. The interior of the building will be highlighted with arched doorways and hallways. There will also be coved ceiling details and lighting throughout the spaces. Like the rugged cliffs around a cove, different stones will be the feature of walls and furniture. The water in a cove will be represented with fountains and water features that create ambient sounds for relaxation. With the use of color, harmony will be brought into the space. Blues and greens will resemble water, and whites, creams and tans will resemble stone and sand. The use of linens will bring soft and comforting textures to the design. A calm environment will be achieved by balancing between all of the materials and details throughout the project.

The Amalfi Coast is well known for its colorful villages, narrow streets, beaches, cuisine and local wine. The concept for this boutique hotel will embody each of these aspects that the Amalfi Coast represents Beautiful colors of blues, yellows, oranges, greens, reds and pinks will be represented throughout the entirety of the resort. The bright colors will work in harmony with the style and placement of the buildings to create a feeling of comfort and charm that the towns of the coast possesses With this coziness, the resort will have a sense of relaxation and calmness, the same way that one feels at the beach.

The journey through college is one that consists of many decisions, changes, and growth of each individual. The HCOA has guided thousands of students through this journey, and our design intends to enhance the built environment to better support this experience. Creating a building that moves and adapts to the needs of its users seamlessly, is one of our main goals. By considering the effects of each design decision, the site will transform into a space that provides an inspirational learning environment for the future, while still honoring the path of the HCOA.
