[main entrance hallway]
[reception desk at entrance] : this serves as an information hub for residents and guests alike. it is one of the main focal points on the floor.
[views of administrative offices]
[central lounge]
[convenience store] : rather than a traditional store atmosphere, we created an intimate boutique feel with the convenience store. the store hold all the essentials for each resident group without feeling impersonal or overcrowded.
[looking from the entrance to the community cafe] : with the intended aesthetic of old vs. new, i incorporated new interpretations of old ideas. instead of a coffered ceiling, i lowered the ceiling panels and made them lights. the carved legs as columns is an idea inspired by the work of marcel wanders. the central coffee counter has bar seating on the back side, also working to foster social interaction.
[view of computer lounge and back of community cafe] : the long, conference style table is meant to get strangers to sit together, encouraging conversation and community.
