Concept Statement: To inspire the design, research that was conducted on computer science as a whole. This research inspired the metaphorical use of networks throughout the space.

Specifically, computer networks That are made up of nodes, and these nodes are characterized based on the way that they communicate. This idea that the nodes

are categorized based on communication was incorporated into the design by categorizing different work environments in the same manner. Everyone in the work

place works in a different manner, therefore creating spaces that are based upon communication works well for an office environment. Utilizing the Herman Miller

Living Office theory along with the formation of the nodes assured that there would be spaces conducive to all work styles.

Reflected Ceiling Plan Project Description: Plain Green is a non-profit organization that strives to advance sustainability in the community through education

and networking. Currently Plain Green holds a conference that brings in different key note speakers to educate

the community on sustainability. This conference has grown in popularity and now the organization needs its own

permanent space dedicated to promoting and educating about sustainability. The project is located in the historic

downtown region of Sioux Falls, SD.

Concept Statement:The existing building is made up of two completely different bays that are built on two different lots. This interesting feature makes this building very different

from other buildings in downtown Sioux Falls. At the time of construction the building was intended to be office spaces. Taking all of this information into

account the concept that was utilized for the Plain Green Community Center is “Changing Perspectives”. This concept worked very well for the community

center because Plain Green is all about changing the way that people think and feel about sustainability. This concept also branched off from the origin of the

building. Office buildings originally meant that everything was sectioned off, private, and enclosed. For the Plain Green Community Center I created a space

that is very open and flexible, thus completely changing the original intent for the building. Another key portion of the design was changing the typical design

type used currently in Sioux Falls. By doing this the Community Center would stand out in comparison to other buildings, thus drawing people in due to the

very different nature of the design.

Project Description: The St. Ermins’ Hotel is located in London, England. This hotel is housed inside a historic building in the middle of all the major tourist attractions in London. The space must include at

least two separate sleeping space, a full convenience kitchen, a dining space, a workspace, a wet bar, and at least one accessible shower. It is also important to make sure that there is

enough storage in the space because the guests could be staying anywhere from 3 days to 3 weeks.

Concept Statement:For the design of the Hotel Suite in London, UK, inspiration was drawn from model building, existing architecture, and also precedent studies.

For this reason the concept utilized for the hotel suite is “Framing Views”. While constructing models of what a hotel module could look like, a

module was created that took advantage of the surround views by creating a panoramic view that could be experienced differently as a guest

moved through the space. This idea of panoramic views played into the space planning and the orientation of the space in the hotel suite. Each

space within the suite was framed around a different view of London. This helped the guest to be fully integrated into the city while they stayed

at the St. Ermin’s Hotel.

Project Description: The Caxton Grill, located in London, England, is a historic four-star restaurant in the middle of the all the major tourist attractions in London. The Caxton is a great place for natives

and tourists alike. Due to the historic nature of the building’s unique architecture this restaurant is very different from the rest. The renovation of this restaurant is important because

there are many problems with the existing space. The designer need to address circulation, this space is attached to a historic hotel, therefore circulation is necessary. This space

needs to seat anywhere form 70- 100 patrons, therefore efficient space planning is a number one priority.

Concept Statement:Utilizing the intersection of old and new to create a diverse perspective. The complex contrast between the old historic nature of London and the building

the Caxton is in with the new modern culture of London creates a space that is timeless and overall understood by all audiences. The intersection of

these two individual styles will create a space that melds well with the existing hotel and the overall culture of London itself.

Project Description:Kaplan Inc. wants a new and unique childcare center in the middle of downtown Sioux Falls. As designers we need to satisfy the physical, social and

psychological needs of children, alongside the functional and programmatic requirements of a business. Security is a major concern. The space must allow

children to interact with light and shadow, reflection, and varying floor levels. Also children must experience transparency and enclosure, sense of prospect,

sense of refuge, and a sense of movement.

Concept Statement: The childcare center designed for Kaplan Inc. utilizes the Reggio Emilia philosophy. All the Reggio ideals

directly engage the five senses, so by combining these Connection5 was discovered. Connection relates

to Reggio because of the way that people connect., Spaces connect, connection to the environment, and

connection to the community. The senses come into play because Reggio encourages children to learn

through their own discoveries, and for the most part children discover utilizing their 5 senses.
