CORRIDOR FOR ICU LEVEL

RELEASE ANXIETY FOR FAMILY Not only patients but also their families face difficulties and pains in this space. In order to relieve their stress, they design nature-friendly spaces to relieve their tension.

NATURAL POD- for family

RESTORATION RELIEF BURN-OUT Working in an Intensive Care Unit can be highly demanding and stressful for healthcare providers as well as patients and their families. Attention Restoration Theory (ART) suggests that exposure to nature or environments promotes a sense of restoration and fascination and helps replenish cognitive resources and reduce stress. Ways to integrate elements of ART were considered.

NATURAL FRIENDLY SPACE- for healthcare professionals

COMFORTABLE AND COZY Designing for patients and their families as well as healthcare professionals, various options of LCD ceiling panels provide mental treatment to feel comfortable and recover quickly. In addition, floor materials and ceiling lights were installed for WAY- FINDING to help doctors and their families move without interfering with the patient’s recovery.

ICU ROOM

CONNECTION WITH FAMILY What should they do if there are more than two patients in the family? They will probably take care of their family members by going back and forth from room to room. This will put physical and mental stress on families.

However, this space connects two ICU rooms with a pocket door, making it easier for families to take care of family members.

Navy Pier, Chicago, IL

ABOUT SITE Located in Chicago, a 11-minute walk from Ohio Street Beach, Sable At Navy Pier Chicago, Curio Collection By Hilton has accommodations with a shared lounge, private parking, a terrace and a restaurant.

Due to the nature of the location, a curved structure was used to protect against the wind to minimize the scattering of ‘Drag coefficient’.

and trendy atmosphere. Emphasizing sustainability and territoriality, it provides a hostel-style experience with traditional luxurious amenities.

RESTAURANT PLACE SUITE PLACE

EXTERIOR VIEW FOR RESTAURANT The restaurant has finished its focus on giving customers a beautiful view. Various patterns are used to provide them with visual beauty, but by maximizing the use of materials, patterns on ceilings and floors aim for easy circulation without disturbing the experience they receive with the scenery.

FLOOR PLAN- 1ST FLOOR

DINING AREA ON SECOND FLOOR

When you enter the restaurant, you will see various spaces in front of you. In addition, you can definitely enjoy the hotel’s concept through the repetitive pattern of Art deco on the ceiling in contrast to the passageway made of marble that can move to other spaces. Also, the beautiful Michigan River, which can be seen from every space, is impressive.

FLOOR PLAN- 2ND FLOOR

GUEST SUITE The suite focused on our target audience. It offers two options: a typical suite and a suite for the company’s team. Our target businessmen create a meeting space in each room to complete their business trip easily and comfortably so that they can focus on their work

SUITE - FOR ONE

This option keeps the suite’s basic framework but uses warm colors in different colors from the view to give visitors a greater experience of the view and creates a large hallway at the entrance, raising users’ expectations for a stronger view.

SUITE - FOR TEAM

As mentioned earlier, this room intensively supports our targets. In addition, various curve partitions provide elements that can provide the privacy that each room’s door would have opened and also serve to divide the space with the exterior space.

ABOUT PROJECT

Noise Level

Once students and faculty enter the new and improved Parks Library, they will be welcomed by a stimulating environment that encourages a productive mindset. Accommodation of needs will be met by embraces versatility through design solutions targeting lighting, acoustic, and comfort control. Designing a flexible space will encourage students and faculty to come together to collaborate, work, lounge, and so much more.

The most important part of the library is noise. To solve noise, we designed the space by creating noise levels from the entrance to the end.

PARKS LIBRARY THIRD FLOOR

Imagine if you came to the library!

Think of the dark lights, the atmosphere of silence. This space is for students with changing times and different ways of studying. This space is designed to go through the entrance that welcomes students and find a variety of spaces that suit their purpose.

Floorplan

From the interview and behavior map, we found zone is not divided clearly and not enough private study space. Because of that we tried to divide the zones depend on noise and study styles (private/ collaborate).

Mindset Zone The Mindset zone emphasizes innovative private work and versatility. Each area fosters teamwork with designated team boundaries, while also promoting versatility by incorporating both tables and whiteboards in every booth, encouraging a creative, dynamic, and collaborative work environment.

Everyone Room The Everyone Room embraces diversity. In response to user interviews and diverse needs for the library, a low-exposure, noise-resistant space has been crafted. Students have the flexibility to choose between individual or team use of the space.

Talk/Think Zone The Talk/Think Zone is centered around fostering innovative teamwork. To enhance collaboration, each area is configured with distinct team boundaries. In promoting versatility, the space features not only computer stations but also includes ottomans, puff chairs, and designated “creative spaces.” This combination supports diverse work styles and creative thinking.

cus the space on the visitor experience.

This brand has a process of reselling used furniture. Due to the nature of the location, showrooms are set up to facilitate the purchase and sale of furniture when various students enter and leave this place.

WHEN YOU ENTER When those customers enter the store, they will face the space with a warm feeling like their home. In addition, the space will be divided through a partition that embodies the brand logo, making customers curious.

Also, it’s a space where branding is a priority.

When entering a used furniture shop, they placed their furniture by space, not by carelessness, and created a space at the entrance where customers could look around the furniture stocked for consultation and their purpose and order online, bringing the brand’s image closer to customers.
