THE MAIN FOCUS OF THE THIS DESIGN CHALLENGE WAS TO CREATE A PATH OF CIRCULATION THAT WOULD DIRECT VISITORS CLOSER TO THE ORIGAMI WITHOUT REVEALING IT COMPLETELY. IN MY DESIGN SPECIFICALLY, VISITORS ARE ABLE TO VENTURE CLOSER WITH A GROUND PERSPECTIVE OR AN AERIAL VIEW. ELEVATION NOT TO SCALE

THE CLIENTS WERE AN OLDER COUPLE WHO BOTH SHARED A LO VE OF THE ARTS, WITH THE WOMAN A MUSICIAN HERSELF. THE MAN WORKED FROM HOME, SO IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR HIM TO HAVE HIS OWN PERSONAL OFFICE SPACE WHILE IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR HER TO HAVE A PLACE TO DISPLAY HER INSTRUMENT, A HARP. MUCH OF THE INSPIRATION FOR THE OVERALL DESIGN CONCEPT OF THE SPACE WAS DRAWN FROM DESIGNERS GEOFFREY BRADFIELD, LAURENT CHAMPEAU, AND KELLI WILDE. SPRING 2019

MATERIALS
DRAWING INPISRATION FROM DESIGNERS GEOFFREY BRADFIELD, LAURENT CHAMPEAU, AND KELLI WILDE, THE DESIGN FOR APARTMENT 901 IN PHILADELPHIA’S HISTORIC TOURAINE BUILDING FOCUSES ON THE ELEGANT NATURE OF THE COUPLE’S ANTIQUE COLLECTION THAT DECORATE THE SPACE THROUGHOUT. THE CHOICES FOR THE FURNITURE IN THIS INTERIOR BLEND MODERN AESTHETICS WITH THE TIMELESS ANTIQUES, ALLOWING FOR THE FURNITURE TO RECEED BACK SO THE GILDED ANTIQUES ARE THE PRIMARY FOCUS.
OFFICE
THE COLOR SCHEME OF THE APARTMENT WILL PRIMARILY BE AN ANALOGOUS PALETTE USING JEWEL TONES LIKE GOLDS, BLUES, AND BLUE-GREENS WITH GRAYS TO NEUTRALIZE THE SPACE, SIMILAR TO THAT OF BRADFIELD’S AND CHAMPEAU AND WILDE’S. THIS COLOR SCHEME AIMS TO CREATE A CALM AND RELAXED, BUT VISUALLY ENGAGING ENVIROMENT FOR THE COUPLE TO RETURN HOME TO, WHILE ALSO FURTHERING THE AIR OF ELEGANCE AND SOPHISTICATION.

IS A LEARNING CENTER FOR CHILDREN THAT PUSHES TO REDEFINE A KID’S IMAGINATION. MUCH LIKE A BUBBLE’S FREEDOM, A CHILD’S CREATIVITY SHOULD BE FREE AND LIMITLESS; THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO REACH FOR THE SKIES. THE DESIGN BEHIND THIS SCHOOL REINFORCES THESE IDEAS BY EMPHASIZING THE UNRULY NATURE OF BUBBLES.

THE COLOR SCHEME FOR POP! IS COMPRISED OF THE TERTIARY COLORS FROM THE COLOR WHEEL: RED-VIOLET, BLUE-GREEN, AND YELLOW-GREEN. THIS PUTS A TWIST ON THE TYPICAL PRIMARY COLORS AND IT ADDS A SENSE OF VIBRANCY TO THE ENTIRETY OF THE SPACE. ANOTHER SOURCE OF INSPIRATION FOR THE COLOR SCHEME ARE THE BUBBLES. OFTEN, THE REFLECTIVENESS OF BUBBLES ARE THE TERTIARY COLORS WHICH IS WHY IT HELPS TO COMPLETE THE SPACE AND STRENGHTEN THE DESIGN INTENT.

THE FLOORING THROUGHOUT THE PRESCHOOL IS A WARM WOOD MATERIAL, HOWEVER IN THE ACTIVITY AREAS THERE’S A CHANGE IN FLOORING MATERIAL TO ACT AS WAYFINDING FOR THE CHILDREN. THE SOFTER, VINYL MATERIAL BEGINS AT THE BASE OF THE BUBBLE MAKER AND FLOWS INTO THE ACTIVITY ROOMS WHICH IS TO SYMBOLIZE BUBBLE FLUID STREAMING INTO THE CLASSROOMS. THIS CAN FURTHER BE EMPHASIZED THROUGH THE ABUNDANT AMOUNT OF BUBBLES ON THE SOUTH FACADE WHICH IS TO SHOW JUST HOW UNSTOPPABLE BUBBLES, AND IN TURN, HOW UNSTOPPABLE CHILDREN’S IMAGINATIONS ARE.

THE COMPANY’S CULTURE REVOLVES AROUND WORKING COLLABORATIVELY AND BRAINSTORMING AS A WHOLE. TO EMPHASIZE THIS IN THE WORKPLACE, THE OVERALL FLOOR PLAN IS VERY OPEN AND ENCOURAGES THE IDEA OF WORKING TOGETHER BY MINIMIZING THE AMOUNT OF INDIVIDUAL WORKSTATIONS AND MAXIMIZING GROUP STATIONS. FURTHER MORE, THE NUMEROUS STYLES OF WORK STATIONS ARE MEANT TO PROVIDE DIFFERENT PLACES FOR THE EMPLOYEES TO WORK RATHER THAN CONFINING THEM TO A SPECIFIC DESK. THIS HELPS WITH ENCOURAGING A FREE FLOWING SPACE WHILE ALSO TYING IN THE IDEA OF WORKING TOGETHER AS A TEAM.

SONDR O D SENIOR THESIS PROJECT TECHNICAL SKILLS: REVIT, ENSCAPE, ILLUSTRATOR, PHOTOSHOP PROGRAMMING: ART STUDIOS, CAFETERIA, CATERING KITCHEN, LOUNGES, BREAK OUT PODS, WELLNESS ROOMS, STORAGE, FLEX ZONE, ART EXHIBITS I CREATED A COMMUNITY CENTER FOR THE ARTS BASED IN NORRISTOWN, PA IN WHAT WAS ONCE THE RAMBO AND REGAR GLOBE KNITTING MILLS. I CHOSE TO CENTER MY THESIS AROUND ART BECAUSE IT IS A LARGE PART OF MY OWN LIFE AND I KNOW THAT MANY OTHERS TURN TO ART FOR COMFORT AND TRANQUILITY, LIKE MYSELF. IT HAS LONG BEEN PROVEN THAT ART IS A SOURCE OF THERAPY, WHETHER IT BE VISUAL OR PERFORMANCE ART. THROUGH THIS PROJECT, I AIMED TO DESIGN A SPACE THAT WOULD PROVIDE NOT ONLY ARTISTS, BUT THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY IN NORRISTOWN, A PLACE TO CELEBRATE THEIR INDIVIDUALITY WHILE ALSO FOSTERING NEW CONNECTIONS AND IDEAS. BY KEEPING IN MIND UNITY AND INCLUSIVITY AS SEEDS FOR MY PROJECT TO GROW FROM, CHAOS AND ORGANIZATION BECAME IMPORTANT DESIGN ELEMENTS THAT I FOUND MYSELF RELYING ON AS WELL. WITH ALL THIS IN MIND, THE SPACE THAT I HAVE CREATED WILL BE HOME TO GROWTH, EDUCATION, AND CREATION.
WELCOME TO SONDR.
WHILE DECIDING ON THE NAME FOR MY SENIOR THESIS PROJECT, I WANTED SOMETHING THAT ENCOMPASSED A FEELING OR EMOTION. WITH UNITY AS A FOUNDATION POINT FOR THE CREATION OF MY OWN THESIS PROJECT, IT INSPIRED THE SELECTION OF THE PROJECT NAME. THE WORD SONDER WAS COINED BY JOHN KOENIG IN 2012 IN HIS “THE DICTIONARY OF OBSCURE SORROWS” THAT AIMS TO DEVELOP NEW WORDS FOR EMOTIONS. HE WRITES IN HIS BOOK, “SONDER. YOU ARE THE MAIN CHARACTER – THE PROTAGONIST – THE STAR AT THE CENTER OF YOUR UNFOLDING STORY. YOU’RE SURROUNDED BY YOUR SUPPORTING CAST: FRIENDS AND FAMILY HANGING IN YOUR IMMEDIATE ORBIT. [...] BUT THERE IN THE BACKGROUND, FAINT AND OUT OF FOCUS, ARE THE EXTRAS. THE RANDOM PASSERBY. EACH LIVING A LIFE AS VIVID AND COMPLEX AS YOU OWN”. THIS MOMENT IS AN EPIPHANY, A REALIZATION THAT EVERYONE’S LIVES INTERTWINE AND OVERLAP EVEN IN THE MOST MUNDANE WATCH MY SENIOR PROJECT PRESENTATION HERE: WAYS. UPON READING THIS SHORT EXCERPT https://tinyurl.com/lfrnscopres FROM KOENIG’S BOOK, I COULD NOT HELP TAKE A LOOK AT MY PRESENTATION BOARDS HERE: BUT FEEL A STRONG CONNECTION TO ITS MEANING. THIS WAS THE FEELING I WANTED https://prezi.com/view/KsdozmicpuYNahjmdHec/ THE USERS OF THE SPACE TO FEEL WHENEVER THEY ENTERED SONDR.
