Historic Style and Transitional Home Research


7/120

Transitional Home Research:In Rockland, Maine New Hope for Women manages six separate residences that provide support, education, and a safe living space for women and children whohave experienced domestic/dating violence, stalking, and homelessness. Eachhome provides the women with private bedrooms and shared bathrooms. The

living areas and the kitchen are communal areas and can be accessed at anytime. Both areas are designed to foster a sense of community amongst theresidents. There are also playrooms for the children in each home. The program partners with various design organizations and student groups who volunteertheir time and services to renovate or remodel the residences. According toHannah Harter-Ives, a Transitional Services Advocate with New Hope forWomen, safety is the primary concern of the program. The locations of thehouses are kept confidential, and women are placed in the home that is thefurthest away from the area where their abuse occurred. New Hope’s programlast two years and seeks to equip the residents with the tools they need to havestable, independent lives and provide for their children (Harter-Ives).

The transitional homes we investigated all shared many commonalities,despite their geographic diversity. The programs were all comprehensive,extending far beyond merely providing physical shelter. The residents of all ofthe homes had access to extensive counseling, job training, health services, andchildcare. The facilities all featured private bedrooms with communal bathrooms and common living and dining spaces. It was clear that creating anenvironment that allowed the residents to form a sense of community andgather was important to the programs. The women and children who reside inthese transitional homes have all experienced abuse and trauma, and therefore,creating a calm, peaceful environment was very important. All three transitional

homes interviewed cited the safety of the women and children using the sheltersas their top priority. Creating a safe and secure facility for the residents isimportant, but the space needs to feel and function like a home. Transitionalhouses are a lifeline to women in crisis, and can provide them both the safetyand respite they need to recover and rebuild their lives. In addition to being professionally challenging, the opportunity to design a transitional house forwomen in need would be extremely rewarding.

Candles were the most

until 1800 when the Argand

lamp started making its wayto the United States. It was

produced in England by a

Swiss inventor (Duffes 186).

Candelabras were

constructed of brass and

crystal elements for

decorative purposes, but

were lightweight in style

compared to those of theRococo period.

Concept Statement

Boston House will be a warm and welcoming space that provides shelterand comfort to women and children in need. The design will pay homage tothe home’s historic location and Federal architecture while offering modernamenities and conveniences. Classic Federal interior elements; such as,wainscoting, crown molding, and wallcoverings will be incorporated intothe space using modern, sustainable materials. The color palette of muted

shades of blues, yellow-gold, and creamy brown tines will create a calmingatmosphere in the main areas of the shelter while a more saturated andcolorful palette in the children’s areas will promote creativity and play.Furnishings in wood tones will pair with soft textures and delicate patternsto create a sense of balance in the space. All interior furnishings, fixtures,and finishes will be durable, easy to care for, and universally accessible so

the users of the space can focus their time and energy on healing, growing,and caring for their families. Boston house will be a safe and comfortableenvironment for the women and children to call home

Color Theory Exercise

This Federal inspired color palette features muted shades of green

and pumpkin with wheat and cream. It is a natural color palette andwill create a calming atmosphere in the home. Green is often

associated with nature, rebirth and revitalization and this aligns

perfectly with the goals of the transitional home. The color green

can also reduce stress and promote relaxation while orange can

promote socialization (“All About the Color Green”). This color

palette pays homage to the traditional Federal era color palette while

also promoting an atmosphere that is conducive to healing and

growth.

BOSTON HOUSE PALETTE 1

FIG. 1


47/120

This color scheme is also a typical Federal era color palette. The

muted shades of blues, browns, and pumpkin with cream will provide a calming atmosphere in the home. Again, the nature

inspired palette will bring the outdoors in and create a feeling of

serenity. The color blue can impart of a sense of constancy and

dependability as it is the color of the sky, ocean, and all water. It is

also considered the favorite color of most people, making it a great

choice for an environment that needs to be welcoming to a diverse

group. The pumpkin tones will encourage socialization and the

browns and creams will provide a nice neutral base (“All About the

Color Blue”).


FIG. 2


48/120

This Federal era inspired color palette features a combinationof dusky, muted rose tones and muted green with cream. This

scheme would work well in a transitional house for women

and children as pink tones have a distinctly feminine feeling.

Pink is also associated with happy and lighthearted emotions.

The combination of pink and green shades here brings to

mind the renewal and sense of rebirth often found in Spring.

Green is most often associated with nature and growth and

will be a perfect compliment to the rose colors. This color

palette will give the home a welcoming, serene feeling and

allow residents to feel comfortable and relaxed (“All About

the Color Pink”).


FIG. 3


49/120

This Federal era inspired color palette features muted shades of

blues, browns, creams, and mustard. This color scheme will create a

will bring the outdoors in, and create a feeling of serenity in the

space. The color blue can impart of a sense of constancy and

dependability as it is the color of the sky, ocean, and all water. It is

also considered the favorite color of most people, making it a great

choice for an environment that needs to be welcoming to a diversegroup. (“All About the Color Blue”). The mustard yellow will
