CLASSICAL FLUDITY & CONFIDENT COLORWAYS

Gaining inspiration from ancient Greece and Rome, with influences from the Garden of Babylon, the Hipstoric Design can flourish anywhere

ATAR

SERENE ESCAPE

Atar is the natural escape to wind down and relax. With its neutral and minimalist design, Atar makes students feel as though they are living amongst the trees with it’s domed structure. By incorporating natural elements through the interior and exterior space allows the users to feel like they are one with nature.

TREE RINGS & SIMPLE CURVES

Each tree ring celebrates another year of growth, much like tree rings students who will utilize this space grow with each college year. The overall form of Atar is inspired from that growth and it’s center is a space for students to relax and collaborate with others.

AXONOMETRIC

The space is located on campus where students will have easy access. Atar consists of a main building centrally located with an occupancy of ten persons. Around the building are four pod-like structures or solitude rooms designed for students to decompress on their own.

Inside the main building is soft seating, and optional seating locations around he perimeter. It features a small wall garden, and a wood slab that students can take, paint, and bring back to put on display.

The solitude rooms include simple, yet comfortable seating and a perfect view into the trees.

CAMBER

CAMBER & CADENCE

Arched forms and steady repetition of controlled patterns. Glamorous dance of cadence under the cambered columns.

GLAMOUR & DANCE

Camber’s ambiance is intended to feel like a glamorous club by night and an elegant event space by day. The monumental columns that give the space a regal and flashy touch is the main conversation piece that draws your attention upwards to the unique bar.

SKETCHES

Standing at the entrance to the event space, you are greeted by two grand green, glass columns. Intended to create an atmosphere of a swanky, upscale bar. To push the design further with metallic golds and bright, vibrant colors.

With the grand curvature of the bar, a central column adds support for the one-of-akind storage application of the brand’s products.

In profile view, the arch of the bar is intended to create a tunnel-like feeling before exiting into the outdoor event space. Using mirrors behind the wine bottles creates a reflective effect that expands the illusion of space.
