Their PURPOSE is to improve everyday living through robotics.

Strength Beauty

Representing strength, growth, and beauty - the Tulip Tree is the firm foundation and support system for the stunning flower it produces. People try their best to do everything on their own, but when people come together, they create something much more beautiful. This can also apply to robotics. When individuals accept help, they can build true strength and health. The tree's growth has a purpose. Its beautiful flowers may seem small, but they create something significant and stunning.

SITE CONTEXT

AddressLease Space6th floor

101 Seaport Blvd Boston, MA 02210

The form of the flower is integrated into the design of this space. The Work Cafe points back to the tree, which supports the fruit - the beautiful product the tree helps produce. This space supports the company's workers who come together to build beautiful products. The Tulip Tree is native to the Massachusetts area - the location for this project.

INSPIRATION

Approximately 12,000 SF

Seaport Boston is the newer and bolder side of Boston - a city known for its history. Seaport is set between Boston’s beautiful waterfront and the historic Fort Point District. It stands for what is new and what is to come. Seaport has become the home for technology, innovation, and art.

HOW WORK GETS DONE

The knowledge that workers cycle between five work modes throughout the workday affected the layout of the space. Work modes and the frequency of shifts between them are specific to an individual to achieve optimal productivity.

The Inclusive Design Lab was designed for user-centered research. Digital technology in this space is used to lead research with partners and learn from traditionally excluded communities.

These rocks have been shaped by time and events, yet they still stand strong. The house is built to be a sheltering, safe place for a family who has been impacted by life. The rocks show that there is still beauty after change. They have weathered the storm and become more beautiful because of its effects. The uniqueness of every rock is resembled in the exclusiveness of this home. The home is built using solely authentic and real materials.

Boston Loft Project 03.

2nd Year Fall - Revit - Enscape

The Boston Loft is designed for a systems consultant for a large corporation in Boston, Massachusetts. Both of his parents are immigrants who have instilled in him the cultural values of their home country of Morocco. He will be moving into the loft of a newly purchased two-story building in the downtown area.

The main goal is to integrate some of his Morocco heritage into a function space while maintaining an exclusive, high-end loft style.

Morocco’s heritage is about mixing and matching bright colors and patterns to make one beautiful and inviting space.

Another goal is to create a home with Accessibility/Universal & Inclusive design, and Aging in Place incorporated into it.

NKBA Kitchen and Bath Project 04.

2nd Year Fall - Hand Rendering

The top priority for the home is Accessibility/Universal & Inclusive design and Aging in Place. The couple desires this house to be their forever home. Another priority for the couple is designing for their two Golden Retrievers. They desire built-in features specially designed for their puppies.

Cultural Pavilion 05.

2nd Year Spring - Revit - Enscape - Photoshop

The pavilion is based on Thai architecture. Tall, pointed roofs are a signature of Thai homes. They were originally designed to keep the home cool during the hot summers. Bamboo is one of Thailand’s most natural building materials. It is abundant and grows extremely fast. It is used in many ways, from food to building materials.

Located in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Surrounded by mountains, the pavilion is isolated in a beautiful clearing in the middle of the woods. It is set away from parking and requires hiking to the location. This allows for quiet mental meditation and preparation before arriving at the pavilion.

Corporate 06.

Physical, mental, and financial well-being are all daily concerns for most college students. The on-campus Bank of America prioritizes the individual student by offering readily accessible banking services and financial advising in a dynamic and empowering environment. Modern technology allows for quick and easy banking, while a private conference space and video room provide tools for college students to begin financial success. The design aesthetic combines crisp and sleek modern minimalism with other aspects of Harding’s historic architecture.
