Community Learning Space

NEXT University is a cutting-edge higher education learning institution

located

in

Washington,

DC.

NEXT

University’s

vi-

sion is to increase their reach into a large urban population to provide an alternative place for students of all age s to gather, connect, explore and engage in lifelong learning experience s with

their

small-scale

extension,

NEXT

HUB.

Located

in

the

heart of DC’s East End/Penn Quarter Neighborhood, the space is strategically situated at the top of two levels of a boutique building that incorporates a restored historic structure on the corner of 10th and F Streets.

The interior for NEXT HUB is inspired by D.C.’s abundant brutalist architecture and what it evoke s in people.

“Brutalists created spaces that helped people aspire to something greater than themselves.”

The community learning space is designed to encourage more meaningful

faculty

interactions,

increasing

student

engage-

ment and connections to other learners. The hope is for citizens to continue to grow and improve through all stage s of life and help them achieve their academic goals with materials reflecting its raw/honest, minimalistic and grand characteristics that inspire without overbearing.

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT The

rich

Brutalist

Architecture

in Washington D.C., from Marcel Breuer’s Robert C. Weaver Building to D.C.’s Metro Station with its breath-taking ceiling detail, has strong appreciation for the sculptural qualities of concrete.

The term Brutalism comes from the

French

Breton

Brut,

which

translates to “raw concrete”. It grew out of Modernism and was pioneered by Corbusier and was often us ed for budget projects as it is economically viable, effective and affordable.

The sculptural qualities of concrete often showed signs/lines of the cast it was poured in.

The tide of Brutalism swelled in the 70’s, propelled by new construction calling crete

and

for that

budget

materials were

like

con-

economically

viable and effective.

upon arrival. The reception de sk is a custom oval shape with a clay mortar finish in the NEXT HUB color palette, re s embling forms of cast concrete.

The curved glass wall leads towards the Learning Commons, where students can spend time in-between classes and connect with other students or faculty.

Characteristics of Brutalism like monolithic form, raw texture and repeated elements can be found throughout the space. Monolithic furniture pieces, raw cast concrete elements, limewashed walls, the Anchor Ceramic Triangle tile and the Sahara wall panel are just a few example s of the s e characteristics represented within the space.

The

Sahara

wall

panel

by Abstracta is made of cork,

al that offers excellent acoustic properties.

The architecture in this home is inspired by California moderism while leaning into some mediterranean elements. The treeh o u s e - l i k e h o m e s o f M i l l Va l l e y o r B i g S u r w i t h v i e w s o f t h e coastline were pioneered by none other than architects like Ray Kappe, Richard Neutra, Rudolph Schindler or John Lautner to name a view. The open concept floorplan is intended to still pre s erve privacy with its little nooks & varying levels/plateaus all while bringing in as much light, greenery & views as possible to feel connected to nature in time s where a lot of our life is spent indoors.

The space is filled with piece s of some of my favorite artisans, artists, antique s and natural materials that feel calming and inspiring to me.

This vacation dwelling inspired by Wassily Kandinsky is located in the mountains surrounded by s erene nature.

Painting

was,

above

all,

deeply

spiritual

for

Kandinsky.

He

sought to convey profound spirituality and the depth of human emotion through a universal visual language of abstract forms and colors that transcended cultural and physical boundaries.

INNER NECESSITY is, for Kandinsky, the principle of art, the foundation of forms and the harmony of colours. He define s it as the principle of efficient contact of the form with the human s o u l . To h i m a r t i s b o r n f r o m t h e i n n e r n e c e s s i t y o f t h e a r t i s t .

The

vacation

dwelling

was

designed

with

Kandisnky’s

prin-

ciples in mind, starting with the composition of the rooms in shape s typically us ed by Kandinsky as well as colors.

The design is hoped to bring true inner peace to guests staying in this vacation dwelling and connect with a higher spiritual state.

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT The floor plan for the dwelling was based on Kandinsky’s theory

of

geometric

figures

and

their relationships in which he claimed that the circle is the most peaceful shape and represents

the

human

soul.

The

circle is therefore placed outside and functions as the deck in order to reconnect with nature where we, human beings, feel most at peace.

Their contemporary lines combined with a rough wood texture finish in contrasting colors create a light and textured ambience. Their inky blue wood stain in combination with natural sand tone s is reminiscent of the the fog and moody feel that San Francisco is known for. Materials like the Cambria countertops and limewashed walls in combination with plaster are environmentally responsible and have hypoallergenic qualities, improve air quality and breathe well. Smart-home technology feature s are incorporated in both space s in form of a touch screen mirror, stove top, fridge and oven which the couple can synch and control with their phones.

Private Condominium

The

‘LIFE

T O D AY ’

residential

condominium

is

inspired

by

William Eggleston and is located in Downtown San Diego with beautiful views of the San Diego Bay, combines past eras with the present. With an earthy color palette reminiscent of the 70s & carefully s elected materials that feel timele ss, the re sidence is meant to evoke creativity

all while

feeling warm and homey.

William Eggleston is an American photographer, who used color photographs to describe the postwar cultural transfo r m a t i o n s i n Te n n e s s e e a n d t h e r u r a l S o u t h t h r o u g h s c e n e s of everyday life, such as portraits of family and friends, as well as gas stations, cars, and shop interiors. As Eggleston described his work, “What I’m photographing, it is a hard question to answer.

And the best I’ve come up with is life today.”

This space is created with the intention to fully honor the vulnerability of being at home as well as the vulnerability of expression and creation through art. It reflects William Eggleston’s honesty and ability to capture a time’s essence.
