Ra-lick (Rollick)
To act or behave in a jovial and exuberant fashion.
Ralick is a progressive minded independent living community for those who wish to age in place in Paderborn, Germany. This community aims to challange the widely accepted narrative of aging. Forgotten are the negative assumptions surrounding growing old, that to be “old” is to be dull.
To “rollick” is to undertake a youthful spirit at any age.
This community encourages playfulness not only in practice, but in program and design. A mixture of playful textures, intriguing shapes, and a balance of both vibrant and more subduded colors adorn the halls of Ralick, giving the overall community a sense of elevated childlike wonder.
Ralick reimagines what it means to grow old; residents are encouraced to pick up new hobbies, mingle with their neighbors, and interact with the young community of Paderborn that frequent several of the site’s amenities.
By advocating for and encouraging a sense of curiousity and wonder in everyday interactions, Ralick argues that aging isn’t some daughnting reality. With a spirited outlook, aging can be freeing, and ultimately inviting of the best years to come.
The end goal of this project was to “use nature as teacher” by studying + documenting a raddish for a prolonged period of time. The observed form, texture, and color of said raddish informed the design for the seating arrangement pictured on the right.
“Raddish” is imagined in a public park setting, and aims to make the user feel small, sparking curiousity and self- reflection, while envoking playfullness and inviting one to explore.
NEXT is a progressive interior design + architecture firm commisioning a new office in Dallas, Tx. Above all they value their TEAM, and the diversely creative perspectives that each member brings to the table.
This new Dallas office needs to highlight and capitalize on the collaborative and inclusive nature of NEXT by implimenting:
spaces for a variety of work flow styles, flexible furnishings, an open concept feel, paired with a spread amenity plan, and ample casual meeting spaces/ monumental moments to encourage interaction.
Playful Collective as a design concept is achieved through 3 main driving factors:
-The use of intentional color strategies to envoke feelings of: groundedness, approachability, playfulness, and enthusiasm
-The implimentation of absorbtive materiality throughout the office to allow for maximum collaboration with minimum noise distraction
-The incorporation of monumental iconorgraohy such as the slide that reminds workers of the teamwork mentality often learned in childhood, while cultivating the oppourtunity for playful, collaborative interactions
