Roots: Senior Living Facility
The concept for this design is derived from the idea of biophilia, which is the human tendency to focus on the connections between human beings and living systems. The relationship between the physical environment and the natural environment will be emphasized in order for the users to develop and emotional attachment with the space. The concept of rooting oneself back to their natural surroundings, which is innately unchanging to the user, will be the main focus for this design. Seniors have gone through life seeing physical and social changes in their worldat first hand. The concept for the regent senior living facility will be to root them back to that which is familiar to them, a constant in their life, nature. This will be conceptualized by using organic lines, finishes, and materials to infuse vibrancy back into their lives.

The culturally sensitive housing unit was designed for a modern day somali family. The goal of the design was to bridge the Somalian cultural background with the modern constructs of society. The design incorporates the somali five pillars of faith, interpreted architecturally throughout the housing unit. The plain tree, which is found in the Somali landscape is represented as shade and shadow are carefully designed on the exterior and interior of the space.

Vibe Studios
Vibe Studios
VIBE Studios is a electronic music recording company, and this skybox is used by them to entertain artists when they are in town for shows. It provides the artists with a place to come together, and enjoy the eccentric atmo-sphere. The inspiration for this design is the electronic music industry itself. Forms derived from the electronic essence of the music will be incorporated throughout the design. The future of the music industry will be mirrored in the futuristic atmosphere of the space.
