Entryway Built-in Tactile Walls
Texture change through datum lines, placed at hand height along the built-ins creates a tactile and visual guide to assist wayfinding and indicate door pulls.
Primary Flooring
Light flooring allows for contrast against furniture while keeping main circulation spaces bright and easy to navigate.
Kitchen Tactile + Color Flooring Change
Tactile change in flooring indicates a change in function. Dark tile floor contrasts indicate change from circulation space to utility space.

Distinguishing edges of cabinetry through color contrast.
8 Living Room Furniture
Dark furniture to contrast light floor and walls + bright colored accent pillows for contrast between couch seat and back.
9 Stairs Tactile Change + Color Contrast
Tactile change: Raised strips approaching the stairs to indicate a tripping hazard is ahead.
Color Contrast: Highlighting the edge of each stair helps users with poor depth perception to indicate the edge of each step.
Primary Bathroom Flooring Change
Tactile change in flooring indicates change in function and potential hazards.
Dark tile flooring contrasts the light tile walls in the shower indicating a change in function and a potential slip hazard when wet.
Bedroom Lighting
Creating dark sleeping environments for individuals with circadian rhythm disorders

Creating quiet sleeping environments for individuals with heighten hearing senses.
Contrasting Desk Surface
The desk material will have two tones to allow for maximum color contrast against its surface for two different types of uses.
Bedroom Carpet Flooring
Tactile change indicated a transition into a comfortable, cozy environment from the hallway.
Carpet provides acoustical properties that absorb sounds produced in a room.

Spring 2023
This project was based in a vertical studio where each third year student was paired with a fourth year. We were tasked to create a hotel of our choice. My partner and I designed a Family Health and Wellness Hotel based in Vancouver, Canada. I designed the third floor of our hotel based on our goals, solution strategies, and concept that we agreed upon. Vancouver is an active city and we wanted our users to be able to use our hotel as a sense of recovery space to relax and reflect; an escape from the city and activities by offering a space that embodies the culture of Vancouver and encompasses aspects from the ocean, mountains, and city.
CONCEPT
A connection between the ocean, mountains, and city of Vancouver that focuses on the recreation and social balance and freedom to offer a recovery Family Health and Wellness Hotel
The vertical distribution of space emphasizes balance as most of the large scale public spaces (green) are on the ground floor or right off of the elevators & stairs while more intimate, quiet spaces (blue) are on the third floor.
Stacking staff spaces allows for separation of back of house and admin while still having connection for easy movement. Vertically oriented spaces also allows the ground floor to have double-height areas for added drama.
The orientation of the hotel focuses on giving the guest rooms an optimal view of Vancouver.
Guests staying in the northwest area of the tower see the nature of Stanley Park while the southwest gets a view up Denman Street and the English Bay.

Creating a space for those living with cognitive impairment can be difficult to do as you don’t want to confuse, trigger, or upset the residents. For my concept, I wanted to simplify their experience into the idea that they were not ending their lives, but instead, starting a new beginning and experience. That is where my concept of ‘New Neighbors’ came about. ‘New Neighbors’ is a concept that focuses on the look, feel, and value that a neighborhood embodies. My goal is to create a functional facility where individuals with cognitive impairment can feel at home within a space that is inclusive, comfortable, and safe. The facility will provide a positive environment that will aid in their journey living with this disease through an environment that can give them the community, independence, and security that a neighborhood provides. ‘New Neighbors’ gives the residents a new home within a new community.

PATTERN CAFE
Spring 2022
This project is called Pattern Cafe and the goal of this project was to create a cafe based on a culture that we researched and then to explore the spatial potentials of our cafe within Union Station. This project started with the culture and base my design off of their ornate patterns and geometry. We then were required to explore patterns that we created ourselves and then that led to the development of our cafe design and the outcome of our Cafe within Union Station using Revit and creating renderings as well as creating our own physical model.
