Project Description

The existing executive suite on the 11th floor of Tommy Hilfiger’s office was renovated to accommodate the executive suite of PVH, Tommy Hilfiger’s parent company. The client wanted the interior aesthetics to be different from Tommy Hilfiger’s areas. We collaborated with the creative director from the client’s side and aligned our vision well. As a result, the PVH executive floor now boasts a minimal and clean look with warm tone white ash woods. In this project, my role was to act as the main interior design er, which involved drawing the floor plan, selecting and preparing the materials and finishes, and creating 3D visualizations to co nvey our design intents.

Expanding their service offerings to meet growing market demands for flexible space offerings, Tishman Speyer partnered with Gensler to develop a new, evolved coworking space concept called “Studio by Tishman Speyer.” This project was the expansion of first completed location at Rockefeller Center’s 600 Fifth Avenue on 11th Floor. The design vision was to create a hospitalityoriented coworking space with concierge services, technology solutions, amenities, and diverse workplace settings. This locatio n served as a valuable starting point and prototype design for Tishman Speyer that allows them to roll out Studio in other buildings across their worldwide portfolio and adapt the design based on drivers unique to each local market.

Project Description

Samco Property Management sought a pre-built office design space that would connect three floors, from the 19th to the 21st floor, with a rooftop. An existing staircase already connected the 19th and 21st floors, so we suggested updating its design and making it the focal point of the space. I developed the overall design aesthetics and concept for the space.

Project Description

On a very aggressive schedule of one year from design start to move in, BAM created a first generation fit out of a 140,000 square foot life sciences research and development building. The design included a connector building that functions as a major gathering space for the 500,000 square foot group of buildings. Working closely with a comprehensive team of consultants and managers, we developed a design that seamlessly matches the existing facility on both the interior and the core and shell expansion. The project was completed on schedule and on budget and was very well received by the tenant. Change orders were less than 1/10 of 1% - extraordinarily low for our industry, and particularly noteworthy for a project of this complexity and speed. BAM has since gone on to design several more projects for Regeneron.

Project Description

Forest Hills Hospital recently became a member of Northwell Health. As part of the hospital re-branding, Forest Hills and Northwell engaged BAM to position their growing network to align with Northwell’s standards of care. BAM began the process from the inside outward through the expansion and renovation of the Obstetrics and Labor & Delivery Departments. To enhance patient contentment and wellness, design included a reconfiguring of the building exterior to maximize natural light.

Visioning sessions were held with the hospital CEO and her team to understand their aspirations for the departments and the institution. Best practices were investigated at other hospitals to identify methods and procedures that aligned with the hospital’s goals. The project was recently completed and the client thanked BAM during the ribbon cutting ceremony.

Project Description

Yale New Haven Health engaged BAM to design and coordinate an interior renovation of the ground floor Pediatric Emergency Department. The department lacked an efficient layout and modern finishes, and featured materials which required a lot of effort for proper upkeep. Our team reconfigured the existing Pediatric ED and Admitting areas, opening up the space to add four new patient rooms, a touchdown area for staff, an accessible patient restroom, and exam room relocation. The medical team has praised the design for improvements in work flow and staff and patient circulation. The design involves installation of LED lights throughout and rubber sheet flooring, increasing maintenance efficiency, reducing costs and impact on daily operations. Keeping the pediatric focus in mind, the finishes are updated to provide a bright, colorful atmosphere for improved patient and visitor well-being.

Project Description

Gilmore Group has been working on interior branding transformation process of Santander bank when Santander and Sovereign bank was being merged. And client asked us to bring up some ideas to brand existing head quarter building’s lobby, and we brought the idea to put their “select” branch in the lobby area.

But we must keep the existing lobby components as much as possible, and also new branch should be mingled with existing environment. Existing lobby is originally designed to express very high-end and luxurious look and feel, so it was important to design a branch which is not out of the blue.

Thesis

THESIS STATEMENT

Music creates and touches emotions, and sometimes it affects on physical reaction. A musical space,which is designed based on the musical structure and the rules of proportion in music, also be able to hold and touch the busy citizen’s emotion and let them slow down and rest their mind for a moment, like what music does.

What is music and how is it related to architecture and space?

Music and architecture are the art of composition within time and space. Music is built with a proportional positioning of musical notes on flowing time and space. Which means that music has mathematical rules of composition, and it follows these rules to make a harmonious music piece. Every element in music, such as chord progression and rhythm, has certain rules and structures.

Proportion is also an important factor to be considered on architectural design. Like musical

pieces are composed based on the mathematical proportion to create harmony, a harmonized environment can be designed by using this musical rule; these musical rules and structures can be applied on space design, and it can be a musical space.

Music “creates emotions, or interacts with the emotions we already feel and, sometimes, it makes us dance.” (Dorrell, 19) A musical space designed by using ‘rules in music’ should have similar effect to what music creates. It is a space that creates and touches human emotions and make people slow down.

Slowing down like music

Today’s people in the city are living a busy life, and they do not have a moment to take a rest. Most of them have poker face, and they are walking like zombies.

The purpose of a musical space is to hold and touch the busy citizen’s emotion and let them slow down and rest their mind for a moment.

They can either keep this emotion or not, but at least this space can provide a little moment to feel differently and a little changes in their life.
