a community center focusing on all kinds of health, located in midtown oklahoma city

--an area looking to reinforce a pedestrian lifestyle-- has a strong working relationship

with st. anthony’s hospital.

bamboo is a catalyst for sustainable design, used to filter sunlight, as a living wall, inte-

rior finishes, spatial partitions, and structural inspiration.

“well” has multiple meanings besides that of an overall goodness. the word is also an

interjection: a grammatical tool used to signify change is about to take place.

the midtown wellness center is a physical interpretation of an interjection:

views and paths create a sense of progression, foster individual improve -

ment, and promote community-wide change.

bamboo screens in the fitness areas provide private workout spaces for the

self-conscious, while larger open areas encourage social interaction. the north-

ern point of the site is occupied by a shaded outdoor lobby and waiting area that encour-

ages community interaction. the eastern triangle of the site features open courts, recycled

rubber porous paved overflow parking, and bamboo landscaping. a variety of outdoor

spaces within the building highlight an environmentally aware architecture.
