Project Brief

There are millions of writers in the U.S. Yet, the number of writer retreats keep dwindling. This writer’s retreat will provide users with the space and time to work but also privacy and little distractions. This retreat will allow writer’s to stay on site, allowing them to focus on their writing while also helping with the pressures they are under. Several facilities will be provided to the writers such as private studios, library, cafe, restaurant, collabortive studio, several lounges, and more.

User Experiences

Private Studios

The private studios are designed to give each user their own space to work so they can be immersed in their writing with no distractions.

Bedrooms

The bedrooms are the primary space of rest and rejuvenation designed to give writer’s a fresh start in their writing.

Blooming Inquisitions stems from the life cycle of dandelions. In its final stage, when a dandelion closes up and dies, it transforms into a pappi that blows away and sprouts new flowers wherever they land. Each dandelion is part of a bigger process, no matter where they drift off they carry their identity with them. Similarly this project will be planted in new locations and throughout it will carry the identity of Lacoste.

Project Brief

This project is a pop-up event that will be planted in different locations for new people to enjoy. This project is designed to carry the culture and experience of Lacoste which will be experienced through the 5 senses similarly to the way a dandelion goes through its life cycle. This pop-up is made of 5 different pods, each representing a different sense (taste, sound, smell, sight, and touch). The pods are designed each by a different group which are made up of 3 people each (my group is taste).

When creating this store, Laurella became the star influence. As this would be their first store in the U.S. it was important that their values and mission remained intact and were communicated to the customers. Laurella is all about being transparent and fun. Throughout its stores they use their iconic pink as well as unique design elements to create a space that is not only a store but an experience.
