PROJECT INFORMATION
PROGRAMMING:
• THE INSPIRATION FOR THE MATERNITY ROOM STEMS FROM THE IDEA OF ORGANIC FORMS THAT WORK TOGETHER TO CREATE A DYNAMIC DESIGN. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT BIRDS AND SPIDERS HAVE STRONG CONNECTIONS IN ORDER TO MAKE A UNIQUE NEST STRUCTURE. THE NEST STRUCTURE HAS ORGANIC CURVES AND VARIOUS TEXTURES THAT HAVE BEEN REFLECTED IN THE DESIGN. MATERIALITY PLAYED A LARGE ROLE IN THIS, AS THE TEXTURES PROVIDE THE COMFORTING FEEL WITHIN THE SPACE. NATURAL MATERIALS WERE USED WITHIN, TO MIMIC THE NEST FEEL. THE NATURAL WOOD LAMINATE PROVIDED A EARTH TONE ALONG WITH THE FLOORING, ATTEMPTING TO PROVIDE THE ENVELOPING FEEL.
