I’m Patharin (Minnie) Suponthana, a Junior majoring in Interior Architecture at Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). I’m passionate about designing spaces that anticipate and exceed user needs and experiences. By applying anticipatory design concepts and incorporating sensory-enhanced design focuses, I aim to create unique experiences that consider user behavior, circulation, and flow. I strive to design spaces that not only look beautiful, but also efficient by reflecting each user’s unique needs and preferences.

JUNIOR FALL | 2022

LOCATION : 101 What Cheer Garage

Providence, RI

SOFTWARES USED

This Adaptive Reuse project revolves around the transformation of the What Cheer Garage and Studio into a residential housing program. Situated on the residential side of Providence, the main focus for this multigenerational housing is the concept of “BREEZE”— redesigning a flexible, adaptable space for visual continuity. Inspired by the idea of the Japanese “Fusuma,” or wooden sliding doors, this concept has been adapted into residential units, where 4 rooms rotate around a central shared living space— redefining the idea of shared living as it can be reoriented and flow from private to public.

With this concept in mind, this design of the What Cheer Studio and garage aims to study the reconfiguration of building structures to accommodate to the flow of space, residence, and those using its facilities.

SHARED LIVING SPACE

RENTABLE ROOM

The incorporation of sliding wooden doors offers the flexibility to transform public and private spaces, facilitating the seamless flow of air and creating an open and inviting atmosphere. The design philosophy prioritizes accessibility and inclusivity, taking into account the needs of the elderly and adhering to ADA guidelines.

Natural light is thoughtfully integrated throughout each room, enhancing the sense of spaciousness and connection to the shared living areas. Additionally, a rentable room with a sliding door linked to the outdoors provides a versatile solution, enabling new members to rent the space when it’s vacant.

SOPHOMORE FALL | 2021

LOCATION : 245 Rose Avenue

Providence, RI

The Adaptive Reuse project transforms an old furniture store into a state-of-the-art food processing and educational space for nutrition and wellness. The space’s design focuses on creating a multisensory experience for learning, replacing some walls with glass to ensure visual continuity. The glass design allows guests to observe chefs working from a top-down perspective, providing a more immersive and dynamic experience. By understanding that a comprehensive education in nutrition and culinary arts requires engagement of all the senses, the renovation of 245 Rose Avenue considers every aspect of the space’s design to create an unparalleled educational experience.

The Adaptive Reuse project for Knight Memorial Library, a community library built in 1924, concentrates on the seamless circulation between the educational spaces and the addition of co-working spaces—primarily focusing on the immersive, free-forming, multi-lingual learning experiences. The library will prioritize accessibility and mobility, ensuring that users of all demographics feel welcome in the space.

The renovation of the library will be divided into function-dedicated volumes, with attention to sightline and importance of transparency and visibility of the parents. Continuity from one space to another will be intentional, allowing users to always feel the presence of what is going on throughout the library, while still maintaining the public versus private. The renovation project aims to make the library experience inclusive for all users. Overall, the Knight Memorial Library’s renovation project will create a modern, welcoming, and functional space that meets the needs of the community it serves.
