The Shift Residence 02

a transitional recovery home

studio 7 | fall 2023

The Shift Recovery Residence is a transitional environment for women in recovery from substance use disorders. The goal of this home is to help women let go of their “addicted identity” and rediscover who they are through spaces that support control, social interaction, & personalization. Focus of this project involved making evidence-based design decisions, in which Ulrich’s Stress Recovery Theory was applied.

Tabula Rasa 04

mind-scape for students

studio 7 | fall 2023

With mental health issues in college students at record numbers, there is high demand for safe and restorative spaces on campuses. Groups members, consisting of Avi Berry, Benjamin Hall, Annika Rimmer, and Regan Wright, were assigned to design a healing prototype space to be located on any college campus in the United States. Tabula Rasa, meaning “a clean slate,” was designed to evoke feelings of tranquility while decreasing feelings of stress and anxiety. The space draws users in through the application of organic forms, biophilia, color theory, and the golden ratio.

EVIDENCE-BASED DESIGN

31.2% students are diagnosed with anxiety

34% received mental health services in the last year

26.8% reported having two or more mental illnesses

47.1% reported feelings of loneliness
