Strength

Beauty

NEXT, is a leading global consumer robot company based in Providence, Rhode Island. NEXT creates consumer electronics and appliances that are designed with the purpose of helping others. Their PURPOSE is to improve everyday living through robotics. The products offer innovative solutions to make people’s lives easier with intuitive and responsive controls, sleek and stylish designs, and eco-friendly features.

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

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.

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.

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.

Health Care 02.

4th Year Fall - Revit - Enscape - Photoshop

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Avenue is a newly constructed pediatric primary care clinic in Baltimore, Maryland. This clinic will provide comprehensive primary care from birth to age eighteen with accommodations to treat behavioral health issues.

The goal of this design is to create a space that supports healing, intuitive wayfinding, and evoke confidence and trust for children from birth through eighteen years old, their siblings, and their families. The design will support a seamless interaction for patients and family, to optimize the experience and outcomes through interior design.

CONCEPT STATEMENT

We are all on a journey. But not everyone’s path will look the same. The destination should not be the only thing looked forward to but truly enjoying where you are at in the journey. When the path gets bumpy, we must be able to see the color and light to make it to the destination.

Through the use of color, line, and form this space will offer a little piece of joy to those who may be in a tough part of their journey.

INSPIRATION

GOALS / OBJECTIVES

• Implement positive distractions for patients – Interactive elements were added to the waiting area and exam rooms to create positive distractions.

• Supportive staff areas – Provided private areas for staff to take necessary breaks. These areas are located within appropriate distance to work areas.

• Provide safety for all – Exam rooms are accessible and appropriately located to reduce walking distance for both patients and staff.

• Bold and bright colors – Based on the research, these colors were chosen to invoke positive emotions, stimulate energy, and provide visual interest.

RECEPTION / WAITING AREA

Wayfinding was implemented through interactive colored lines leading from the reception to the exam room of the appropriate color.

Wayfinding is crucial in the healthcare environment. It eases confusion and helps patients orient themselves in the new and sometimes scary environment.

This space is designed to be a calm, comfortable space for staff to relax. It is a multi-purpose space that is utilized for lunches, breaks, training, staff meeting, and in-services. Staff lockers are also provided to evoke a sense of retreat.

+ J Flooring’s Kinetex products were used throughout this project. Kinetex has many of the same benefits of soft surface with performance of hard-surface. Each layer of the material creates a versatile, lightweight, soft-surface flooring with parallel qualities to that of hard surface. When tested it withstood more than 5-million-foot traffic events. It is a green product that reduced environmental footprint. Kinetex minimizes air particulates that trigger allergies and can cause infection. It is slip-resistant and has amazing noise reduction ratings.

3nd Year Spring - Revit - Enscape - Photoshop

Group Project - Interdisciplinary Collaboration

The SPRING CAFE was designed to foster a connected community. Key elements are the bright colors and natural light to emphasize the lively nature Sage is bringing to the space. When guests enter, they can choose between the menu original to Spring Cafe or the Cafe’s collaborative menu with local food service businesses. They can choose to order or simply enjoy existing in the space with access to free wifi and a view of the beautiful and historical Spring Park.

Sage Architecture was tasked with re-branding the city of Searcy, Arkansas, along with redesigning Searcy’s community center, administration offices, park, and cafe space.

The city of SEARCY is home to families who have been here for generations, inspiring non-profits, determined small businesses, and waves of visitors.

Our unified city brand highlights the efforts of this strong community and encourages endurance, A new WELCOME CENTER and historic SPRING PARK renovations create space for visitors and Searcy citizens to gather together.

Our team focused on FIVE KEY WORDS which guide our concept for a new Searcy brand -

Cultural Pavilion 06.

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.
