Positive vs. Negative Space
Took the collage and looked at colors and density to create a diagram.
Massing Diagram
Took the negative space form the previous diagram to create massing.
Massing Model
Created a study model to look more closely at the massing.
Fitting the program into the Floor Plan
Took the massing diagram with the program and planned the circulation of space.

SITE LOCATION
NEXT is an Architecture and Design firm located out of Los Angeles, California. They are looking to expand to Dallas, Texas since some of their clients are located in this area.
NEXT values collaboration and employee well-being.
The firm drew inspiration from the beautiful landscapes in Texas. Their focus throughout their design is ecopsychology, the study of the effect nature has on the human mind and body. They wanted to take this idea as well as their inspiration and combine it to create a workplace focused on connection and wellbeing. They did this by using local materials and colors from the nature of Texas.

The reception is one of the first things you see as a client or an employee when stepping off of the elevator. This space is warm, inviting, and introduces the concept to the visitor. The bold orange that is throughout the space ties into the agate pattern on the reception desk. This orange can be seen all throughout the design.
Materials
The flooring is limestone, which is a material naturally found in North Texas. The wood on the back wall is made of white oak, which is native to Texas as well.
WORK CAFE
The work cafe is a necessary space to promote the feeling of relaxation. The green in the space is meant to calm the employees
This is the largest group of workstations in the office. The orange is carried throughout the space, but in small quantities as to not distract the workers.

I was immediately drawn to Reserve, LA because of how These people are impacted daily by large amounts of pollution negatively affecting their airways. A lot of the people here tend to pass away due to cancer and are ignored by the government. With this project I wanted to create something that would make the community feel seen and heard, Something that they would feel comfortable in
COURTYARD

Longitudinal Section
Something that was important to helping the community feel at home was bringing back what had been taken from them, the surrounding environment. Because of the factories being built there, they lost that connection to nature. So I used greens and blues inspired by the colors of the marsh that surrounds Reserve.
