“The details are not the details. They make the design.” – Charles Eames

Originally from Romania, Roxana’s creative journey began with painting and drawing at a young age. Her early interest in visual arts naturally evolved into a passion for architecture and interior design, leading her to pursue a degree in Interior Architecture and Design at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco.

While studying, Roxana gained hands-on experience working with a residential development company, where she contributed to the design of single-family homes and supported operations behind the scenes. This practical foundation deepened her appreciation for the connection between beautiful design and functional living.

In 2018, she launched her own interior design and home staging firm, where she currently leads all projects. Her work is rooted in the belief that well-designed spaces should feel intentional, livable, and inspiring. Passionate about nature and sustainability, Roxana creates environments that not only reflect her clients’ lifestyles but also enhance their daily well-being.

When she’s not designing, she finds inspiration outdoors, observing how nature connects elements effortlessly — a principle that influences her approach to space and flow.

PROJECT ONE

Client Profile

Since 1888, the National Geographic Society invested internationally in explorers, educators, scientists and others to help inspire, protect and positively change our sensitive environment. National Geographic’s commitment to equity and transparency influences communities worldwide.

Explorers from around the world join the company to build a diverse community that reflects the richness of our society and invest in creative ideas that generate solutions for a sustainable future.

The Site

Presidio Neighborhood, San Francisco, CA

National Geographic Society's headquarter location is one of San Francisco's most attractive areas. Presidio's historical background offers a great design opportunity to emphasize the client's ideals by gathering design inspiration from the local natural environment. The site's properties receive a significant number of visitors; therefore, the acoustic design solutions provided improve the user’s experience, particularly in the spaces located on

the building's Northwest side. National Geographic's mission to preserve nature and educate the world on the environment and wildlife is embraced in their Western headquarter's interior design through sustainable materials. The importance of including and relating the project's design within the neighborhood culture reflects the client's vision.

Demographics

A Bit of History

The Presidio district of San Francisco is a National Historic Landmark, including about 500 historic buildings, a National Cemetery, a Historic Airfield, and several coastal defense structures. The Presidio is also part of the Golden Gate Recreation Area and has been home to Spain's armies, who settled a military outpost from 1776 to 1821. In 1994, Presidio was transferred to the National Park Service. In 1996 with the Presidio Trust establishment, the area turned from a military base into a national park lodged with natural and cultural treasures.

Case Study I

MixC Market-Shenzhen, China

MicC Market Hall, designed by 10DESIGN, is a mixed-use development located in a former industrial area. The project plan reimagines old market squares and provides a diverse retail-gastronomy experience. The building contains 78,890 sq. meters of retail and dining space and two office towers. The idea behind the newly built construction reveals an innovative alternative to shopping malls inspired by traditional marketplaces where the public can work and enjoy.

The client, China Rescources Land Holding company, established in 1938, is one of the key state-owned enterprises focused on industrial investments, healthcare, energy services, and urban constructions. The for-profit company is a large scale corporation maintaining a rapid growth.

The project successfully integrates its design and layout within the local surroundings. The masterplan includes residential towers and public amenities, all inspired by the local cultural identity. The exterior facade is marked by a sculptural canopy leading the shoppers towards the retail zones. The market entrance contains floating box structures inspired by food trucks. The idea of breaking away from the grand shopping mall scene and building a marketplace drawn from the original aesthetic of old markets is highly inspiring.

Case Study II

Art Gallery- Beijing, China

The Art Gallery in Beijing was envisioned to become the “West Bund” of the city. The Gallery replaces an old factory near a canal and several other factories that impose a difficult challenge from a layout perspective because of their small and scattered architecture. The outline of the area is composed of four strip-type units.

The designing team faced the challenge of unifying all structures in a smooth transitional manner to compose a whole artistic park. The designers turned the original row of structures into a cave group with an artificial tunnel to unify the structures and connect all exhibit halls. The project successfully translates the site’s exterior identity and exposes an excellent integration of open and closed spaces.

Water is used to guide visitors throughout the museum and create an ancient-like labyrinth experience where light and shadow become art themselves. Also, the water system connecting the spaces blurs the boundaries between indoor and outdoor. The idea of creating something new out of an old factory to serve a purpose and resemble the local landscape is admirable.

CONCEPT INSPIRATION IMAGES- RHYTHM, SCALE, & FORM

HOMOGENEITY

connection, balance, identity

Inspired by the client’s mission to sustain our natural world’s integrity and exhibit various cultural identities, the interior design of National Geographic Headquarters reflects the equilibrium found in nature through an abstract expression of the world landscape features. Integrating design elements such as rhythm, form, scale, and proportion to highlight cultural cohesion. The interiors will employ Biophilic design, environmentally friendly finishes, materials, and low energy use appliances and fixtures.

Bubble Diagrams

Summary

The existing building floor plan provides several design opportunities and limitations. One of the primary benefits is the floor plan layout flexibility due to the building's unblocked views and excellent access to light. Both floor plans consist of multiple structural columns that restrict the plan layout design to potentially leaving the architectural features exposed and incorporated within the interior aesthetic to enhance functionality and circulation.

The neighborhood fits well with the National Geographic Society's profile and offers a great design opportunity to emphasize the client's ideals by gathering design inspiration from the local natural environment. Transparency with outdoors and open floor plans will maximize access to the best views and create a healthy environment, particularly for the office spaces. Based on the client's profile and building location, the interior design will benefit if balanced with the building's exterior architecture.

Conceptual Diagrams

Summary Notes:

The diagram provides a closed-loop primary circulation path to allow easy navigation throughout the space. The space allocated for the exhibition offers a greater level of flexibility for various types of displays, excellent views, and even light. The shared offices and staff meeting room benefit from great views and even light throughout the day. The south-facing spaces, such as the cafe, conference room, and private offices, will have adjustable solar shading to prevent glare and unwanted heat gain.

Flexible configuration of furnishings intensifies functionality and allows for future changes to accomodate an increasing number of users. The simplicity of the space is complemented by the rough appearance of natural materials such as concrete, metal, and wood. Oversized windows maximize natural light and create a connection with the outdoors.

CONCEPT IMAGE

Floor Plan Development

Summary

The floor plan offers consistent geometry, floor to ceiling windows, and open planning to allow future changes in growth and expansion. The design is a mix of modern and rustic influences that balance simplicity and warmth. The tremendous ceiling height is offset by the horizontal

organization of spaces giving proportion and appropriate scale. Oversized lighting fixtures provide the drama while green walls accentuate the overall look and stand as focal points. To enhance function and add visual interest for pedestrians crossing by, each main area of interest has its front street entrance with double glass doors.

Branding Study

Design Narrative

THE BUILDING

The 7,600SF space consists of a restaurant with an open bar area, a cooking school connected to an event space, a commercial kitchen with adequate storage, office spaces, restrooms, and an employee’s storage room. The rooftop garden and greenhouse are designed to provide fresh produce to the restaurant and cooking school.

THE FLOOR PLAN

The floor plan offers consistent geometry, floor to ceiling windows, and open planning to allow future changes in growth and expansion. The tremendous ceiling height is offset by the horizontal organization of spaces giving proportion and appropriate scale. To enhance function and add visual interest for pedestrians crossing by, each main area of interest has its front street entrance with double glass doors.

SUSTAINABILITY

The building is designed to enhance sustainability, and energy efficiency. Sustainable materials with declared labels used to create the interior of the building include reclaimed wood, ceramic tiles, quartz, furniture, and green certified upholstery. Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) and Healthy Product Declaration (HPD) are organizations focused on improving the building industry by promoting transparency in product manufacturing. All materials used are

free of Red List chemicals. Floor coverings such as Mohawk engineered oak wood is used for the restaurant and offices and polished concrete on all other spaces. Benjamin Moore, Zero VOC, low odor paints, and VOC Free Adhesives are used throughout the space. Water conservation is achieved by using low flow plumbing fixtures and flushless urinals. LED light fixtures are installed throughout to reduce electricity consumption. The LED lighting is 80% more efficient than incandescent, and fluorescent lamps, and only 5% of the energy produced is emitted as heat.

BIOPHILIC DESIGN

Biophilic design helps in creating sustainable interiors which improve the user’s performance and health. Biophilic design reconnects humans with nature on an indoor level. Biophilic design introduced through several green walls designed in the restaurant and event room. Potted plants and geometry found in nature are placed throughout the space to transmit a positive effect on users.

All the elements incorporated into the restaurant design establish an unbroken connection that is not only sustainable but also aesthetically pleasing. Overall the restaurant’s design offers a warm, inviting atmosphere and enhances the neighborhood color.

The Site

The selected location of this project will be the cornerstone of a larger project to redevelop and rejuvenate a 41-acre area just outside of downtown Denver known as the Fox North neighborhood. Previously a neighborhood utilized for industrial and commercial manufacturing purposes only, the land has been vacant and has contin-ued to be under-utilized as surrounding areas have been developed and redevel-oped. This brown-field site provides an opportunity to infill a current low-density area that is surrounded by higher-density areas. Additional factors when choosing this location were the proximity to downtown and other community amenities, which reduces commuting for employment, entertainment and necessities, as well as the proximity to an existing public transit station. The lot at the corner of 43rd and Fox St is just two blocks removed from the 41st and Fox transit station featuring the RTD lightrail lines as well as the existing park and ride location for the RTD bus lines. Residents and commuters to and from the area can utilize the existing transit from this location to commute to Denver suburbs of Westminster (9 miles) and Wheat Ridge (9 miles), and it is just a single stop from the main commuting hub within downtown Denver, the historic Union Station, which features lines to get as far north as Boulder, CO (35 miles), east as Denver International Airport (23 miles), and south as far as Lone Tree (21 miles).

Building Features

HABITAT EXCHANGE

The site landscaping, green roof, and walls provide a home to numerous native plants, flowers, and trees that will create habitats for insects and birds.

HUMAN POWERED LIVING

The design sustains human physical activities by providing bike storage and staircases.

NET ZERO ENERGY

Rainwater is captured via gutters, green roof, and planters across the exterior of the building and filtered to underground grey water cisterns. Wastewater from toilets, sinks, and showers is filtered by a living machine and reused for toilet flushes and on-site irrigation. The building is heated by a Geothermal system that transfers ground heat to an in-floor radiant heating system. The building is naturally ventilated by large wind turbines and a ventilation stack, which allows comfortable temperatures during the summer without the need for mechanical systems.

Ground Floor Plan

The block shape was developed to optimize solar access and heat while allowing natural light to enter between the building form. The space created between the buildings offers two vertical living walls to enhance the user’s experience and improve air quality while functioning as a central hub connecting the restaurant and the cafe.

The Ground Floor provides office, retail, and hospitality spaces as well as ersiden-tial amenities and management space, a greenhouse and storage rooms. Each area has advanced LowE triple-pane operable windoes to allow views, fresh air and daylight into the space. An ample outdoor space includes seating vegetat-ed planters to maximize the air quality and offer a biophilic atmosphere that improves the user experience.

Fourth Floor Plan

Shown here is one of the eight residential floor plans which provides studios, one- and two-bedroom units. Each unit has advanced Low E triple pane operable windows to allow views, fresh air and day-light into the spaces. All units have access to ample social outdoor space, a business room equipped with computers, scanners and a printer, a large indoor lounge with views to the north and west, and a child playroom. The intention is to promote the resi-dents interaction and provide a shared workspace. The ourdoor area includes seating and vegetated planters to maximize the air quality and ovver a bio-philic atmosphere that improves the users’ experi-ence. the block provides ADA Compliant units on each residential floor and wide corridors to facilitate wheelchair access to and from the elevator located in the center of the building

Harmony, Reflection, Balance

Inspired by the Japanese Ikebana, the interior design of the senior living facility translates the bonds found in nature through several design elements such as color, form, and patterns to emphasize a tranquil atmosphere.

Layout Design

The Senior Living Center is designed in a deinstitutionalized way by minimizing the number of corridors, providing open-concept spaces that allow the users to move freely and create a home-like feel within the residences. The building’s layout provides two studios for this type of residents separate from the rest to better suit their needs and improve their emotional well-being. In many elderly facilities, residents do not have the opportunity for quiet time or conversation. The Senior Living Center design provides small intermediate spaces to support quiet time and private discussions.

Furthermore, all materials, furnishings, and fixtures selected throughout the building support a healthy environment for residents. The building design provides access to daylight and fresh air through large, operable windows. Non-slippery flooring materials are installed throughout to assure the safety of the users. Older adults experience gradual changes in vision, hearing, balance, coordination, and memory. Designing spaces that support all these aspects can significantly improve the resident’s quality of life.

Features

The Senior Living Center design enhances safety, open sigh-lines, physical access, natural light, and materials for a tranquil mood. The community room and resting areas promote social connections among elements from nature, such as plants, to intensify Biophilic design, which improves the wellness of the residents.

Access to natural light and living plants create a sense of transparency with the outdoors and contribute to the overall wellness of the residents.

Universal Design

The Senior Living Center is universally designed to enhance safety, open sigh-lines, physical access, natural light, and materials for a tranquil mood. The community room and resting areas promote social connections among elements from nature, such as plants, to intensify biophilic design, which improves the wellness of the residents The universal design is applied in the residential units through the proximity of each appliance in the kitchen, ADA clearances for

maneuvering, accessible storage, non-skid flooring materials, and smart features such as motion sensor lighting fixtures and window shades. Comfortable use of space for different body sizes is achieved in the bathroom by installing a large overhead shower, an additional hand shower, a large built-in bench to ease wheelchair transfer, and grab bars. Besides, all faucets and toilets in each residence are touchless.
