DESIGN PHILOSOPHY I believe the physical spaces in which we occupy are intrinsically connected to the head spaces in which we dwell. This is why sustainable practices and methods are at the core of my design philosophy. Keeping the planet in mind, I believe a successful interior is achieved through a key balance of form and function along with a strict attention to detail. Conceptual ideas should drive the necessary design pragmatics to develop a space that inspires both the client and all users. As humans, we spend the majority of our time indoors. Why not give these interiors a sense of identity through fresh, intuitive, and sustainable design?

01 SYNERGISM COMMERCIAL WORKPLACE DESIGN

Synergism is a workplace design proposal for The Wing, a woman focused, coworking company.

The Wing is opening a new location in Savannah, Georgia on the second floor of Clark Hall. The space is approximately 10,000 square feet and has many historical architectural features. There is an underlying focus of the design to create an environment that suits both the neurodiverse and neurotypical mind.

LOCATION 229 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, 2nd Floor Savannah, GA 31401

CLIENT The Wing is a company with the primary goal of providing a safe and welcoming environment that fosters collaboration and connectivity.

Their facilities provide private workspaces, bookable conference rooms, and WIFI access. Membership types include individual or corporate for small businesses. Their culture code states: “As part of The Wing, I will strive to create an atmosphere that welcomes everyone..... Regardless of race, religion, national origin, ethnicity, disability, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, or age.”

USER GROUP ANALYSIS Co-working spaces focus on collaboration, community, and the interconnection of users. A heterogeneous group of tenants who would have otherwise worked alone, make up the user group. They vary in occupation, background, and age. The most common user groups include self-employed workers, entrepreneurs and freelancers, but also small to medium enterprises and students. Approximately 15% of the US population is neurodiverse. This workplace aims to improve the experience of its neurodiverse users, especially those with ADHD. In addition, this particular location of The Wing is designed for a wellness-oriented user group who prioritizes their mental and emotional health.

CONCEPT The concept behind The Wing’s new coworking space will be driven by the natural system of Synergism. This is the process of mutual productivity through the collaboration of different entities which enhances their effect to produce a result that could not be achieved singularly. In an office ecosystem, especially a coworking environment, users will thrive off of the same process. The effects of Synergism will be achieved through the use of organic forms, abundant access to light, and the intentional organization of collaborative and private work spaces. Earthy tones contrasted with vibrant colors will establish balance alongside varying textures to help increase productivity, inclusivity, and creativity.

PARTI DEVELOPMENT JUICE/ESPRESSO BAR

8

The Juice/Espresso Bar appeals to the wellness oriented user of the space. Bright colors coupled by natural materials creates a fun, yet comfor table atmosphere. The design of the custom juice counter mimics the shape of the conceptual par ti diagrams and gives visual interest to the space.

PUMP ROOM The pump room is a unique feature to The Wing’s brand and locations. It is equipped with comfortable seating and a mini fridge to store milk. The room is fully enclosed to provide privacy.

The space is placed adjacent to the employee lounge for further storage and utility access.

COWORKING A centralized workspace located near both private of fices and the conference room, this space is equipt for all user groups.

COLLAB DESKS Situated in proximity to both the reception, and the daily offices, the collab desks give tenants a variation in ergonomic accommodation. They also provide a chance for collaboration. A strong visual clearly defines the function of the space, promoting focus and productivity.

CONCEPT “Antiquity at Sea” reflects a mix of vintage and contemporary styles in order to best convey the client’s unique aesthetic. Bold patterns and bright colors balance clean lines and modern forms. The space establishes a sense of individual luxury.

This custom designed cabana seating located at the bow side of the flybridge is perfect for sunbathing. The retractable cover provides shade, but still retains visibility for the helm station’s navigation. This furniture item is built-in, in order to maintain item stability when the yacht is in motion on the seas. The materials match the rest of the furniture on the flybridge, continuing the light and bright feeling of this upper deck.

04 SANCASA

SUSTAINABL E COMMUNITY CENTER Sancasa is a collaborative team proposal for a permanent storm-proof structure with dual functions of temporary housing and a community center/market. Mimicking the form and processes of the biological organism, the sand dollar, Sancasa is a self sustaining system that addresses the diverse needs of communities within Puerto Rico. Sancasa also has the capabilities of providing relief for communities affected by natural disasters, internationally.

PROBLEM CONTEXT Puerto Rico declared bankruptcy in May 2017, just four months before two catastrophic storms made landfall on the island. Disaster recovery in the middle of an economic downturn was a major challenge they are still facing. The effects of both hurricane Irma and Maria led to destruction of critical infrastructure. This resulted in a cascade failures in critical systems such as energy, transportation, communications, water supply, and wastewater treatment .This also impeded response operations.

MODULARITY

CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT 28

Due to its 3D printing construction, Sancasa is designed to act as a modular system. Units can be replicated in proximity to maximize functions.

Space in between units will act as additional agricultural land to support the structure’s self sufficiency and help address the growing food and agriculture issue in Puerto Rico.

COMMUNITY CENTER Sancasa’s primar y func tion is a community center and it is buil t to accommodate a variety of needs. It has dual func tion cour tyard/garden areas. The struc ture is made up of modular units designed to be replicated in proximity to maximize func tion. This de sign mimics the natural agglomeration that occurs amongst sand dollars.

STORM SHELTER Sancasa ac ts as temporar y housing during the event of a storm. It can ser ve dif ferent types of displaced user groups. Eight foot rolling storm doors allow for a transitional space. The chosen material is struc turally sound, environmentally friendly, and cul turally cohesive.

04 PHOTOSITES RESIDENTIAL DESIGN

Photosites is a residential proposal for Peggy Wong’s apartment at The Baxly in Savannah, GA. Peggy is the senior director for brand photography at Crate & Barrel. Peggy grew up in Hong Kong and moved to the United States when she was sixteen. The design reflects Peggy’s background and love for travel, photography, and typography. Renderings are completed using primarily water color with a variety of other mixed mediums.

DINING ROOM LOCATION The Baxly Apartments 630 Indian Street Savannah, GA

CLIENT Peggy Wong is the senior director of brand photography at Crate and Barrel. She was born in Hong Kong and moved to the United States when she was twelve years old. Her passions and hobbies include travel, typography, and stationary. She lives with her husband and enjoys a minimalist interior that mixes vintage and modern aesthetics. She spends the majority of time in her home on her couch.

CONCEPT Digital photography takes place when the camera focuses light onto a silicon sensor via a lens. The sensor is composed of a grid of light sensitive pixels called photosites.

There are millions of photosites within the sensor that act as light collectors. Unlike film photography, photosites are the only light sensitive element utilized in the digital imaging process.

If photography is writing with light, than photosites, at the heart of every digital camera, are the pen and ink.

34

The formal dining room is centered around an amorphous shaped table that acts as the statement piece. Its irregular heptagon table top mimics the lens of a camera capturing a picture.
