Renewal Room
CONCEPT: PEACEFUL ESCAPE
The Renewal Room was designed to evoke feelings of balance, peace, and tranquility through a nature-inspired refuge. Health spas, workplace wellness rooms, and biophilic design were the inspiration for the design. A soothing atmosphere was created through a calming neutral palette and soft earth tones, organic shapes, and natural elements.
EVOLUTIONARY PROCESS OF THE STRUCTURE
The sketches on the right depict the development of Renewal Room’s trefoil building design. Beginning with the basic outline of the existing landscape, shapes and lines were added in phases until achieving the desired shell.

Arcadia at South Boyle Commons
CONCEPT: ARCADIAN UNSPOILED BEAUTY
Arcadia: where happiness, tranquility, simplicity and peace were united with nature in a unique and unparalleled relationship.
The inspiration behind Arcadia’s design comes from the vision of unspoiled beauty that was found in the ancient Greek city known as Arcadia. The region was known for its small population, mountainous terrain, and greenery. Today we think of the name as being the ideal backdrop for the perfect vision of beauty found in nature. A place that would bring us happiness and peace and make us feel at one with nature.
Throughout the spaces this vision of harmony with nature is found and connections are established in various ways. Each apartment welcomes in daylight with large windows and glass walls applied in each unit. As you walk through the main spaces you are surrounded by lush greenery and a soothing neutral palette of ivory, beige, and green. Modern furnishings top off the design showcasing clean lines and in every space.
