about me...

Hello! My name is Taylor Hildebrandt. I was born in Mission Viejo, California, and was raised in Jacksonville and Tallahassee, Florida. My college experience began at Tallahassee Community College, where i earned my A.A. Degree and became a member of Phi Theta Kappa, a national Honor Society. Upon Graduation, I immediately began the grueling process of applying to and entering the Interior Architecture and Design program at Florida State University, to which I gained admission in the summer of 2018. i spent the next three years completing the program, alongside wonderful, life-long friends. i graduated from Florida State University in the spring of 2021 and was hired, full-time, by a Tallahassee based architectural firm, Conn Architects. I have found my true passion in the world of architecture and interior design, and continue to yearn, every day, to expand my knowledge base and experience.

the mixed use concept...
The Harvard School of Design describes a mixed-use hotel as a space with “Three uses in one building, where no component makes up more than 60 percent of the overall space.”
Mixed-use hotels can create a “one-stop-shop” experience for guests checking-in and using the facilities. This hotel concept often partners with well-known and loved restaurants, spas, or other amenities; these partnerships help to contribute to the success of the hotel.

Accommodation is the essence of the hotel industry, the survivability of the industry is impacted by the provision of guest accommodations. The provision of favored guest accommodations fosters goodwill between the hotel and its guests.
“Zenith” is defined as the time in which something or someone is most powerful or successful. It is valuable to keep in mind that this hotel, as a mixed-use development, strives to stay in contact with guests throughout their stay, bringing further hospitality, and an exceptional experience to all guests.

Having the ability to spend a large period of time researching and programming helped me to understand the Polish culture and context of Warsaw. This project provided me a great understanding of backgrounds and equity in design.

Anxiety can be a common response when in clinical spaces; therefore, the design mimics restorative healing processes and induces an individual’s sense of calm . the clinical space follows a natural and simplistic design that focuses on natural light as a healer.
Room numbers are illuminated for simple wayfinding.
Windows are frosted glass for privacy and dispersed sunlight penetration.

Completing this project while remote during the outbreak of coronavirus gave me a unique understanding of the imperative nature of clinics, as well as healthcare spaces in general.
This project allowed me the opportunity to understand the importance of considering the needs of others in design.
