ObjectiveDesign the Amplatz Children Hospital at the University of Minnesota.

SOlutiOnThe goal was to create a hospital that would soothe everyone. The color palette and simple circu-lation would ease everyone’s nerves. The patients have rooms with distractions like their inter-active televisions and ability to personalize the room. Memen-toes on shelves and color choice of the LED lights allows them to make it their second home. Fami-lies are given their own space with a couch that folds into a bed and personal storage. They also have their own television out of their child’s view. Staff work space that is very functional and aesthetically pleasing.

ObjectiveDesign a law firm in a high rise in Boston, MA. Space needs to accomodate three departments: real estate law, environmental law, and intellectual property law.

SOlutiOnThe concept was to create a balance between the traditional hierarchal structure of a law firm and the more modern communi-ty-orientated office. Traditional materials such as walnut, brass and neutral fabrics were utilized to honor the classic office envi-ronment. Hierarchy was estab-lished through size of spaces and creating levels of privacy with materials. The entire office was united through a suspended ceiling panel which was further emphasized by the floor pattern.

ObjectiveDesign a museum on Newbury Street displaying glass vases of the Olnick Spanu Collection. Concept had to correlate to glass in some way.

SOlutiOnThe design was inspired by the transparency of glass. As pa-trons travel through the space the walls comprised of metal rods gradually get more transparent. The entry has a solid frosted glass wall. The glass rod walls from the staircase to the special exhibit gradually become less dense.

ObjectiveDesign a wine store in a retail space in a mall in California. Mall is filled with upscale stores and targeted towards wealthy clientèle. The design needed to be based on a grid.

SOlutiOnThis design was based on a grid. The cabinets and furniture all follow the grid. The design was focused on the details and clean lines to create an elegant and sophisticated atmosphere. The cabinets contain no hardware and none of the stock is visible to the clients. The chang-es in value in the wood guide the patron through the merchan-dise and to the register which is emphasized by a crystal beaded wall.
