A balance to a fast pace life

When we first recieved this assignment. We were put into groups of two and asked to design a main layout. Each apartment had to be a total of 900 sq feet. Our main plan had 30 units and a coffee shop. After designing the main layout we each designed one unit. I wanted to design a space that was very clean and bright, to allow the room to open up since it was in a tight space, and also be sustainable. The XY generation is centered around sustainablity, so i wanted to incorporate that into my design. The apartment I designed had bamboo floors and bamboo cabinets. The white paint on the walls is also an eco-organic paint.

Relajacion Aquatica

When we were fist given the assignment to design a place to bathe for disabled individuals, we began by looking at different cultures and their bathing rituals. I was extremely fascinated with the Japanese Bathing style. First, they begin their bathing process by washing their feet, then they wash their body which is suppose to clean away all the bad moods and negativity they experienced during their day. After the bath the Japanese soak in a tub for long periods of time. It can be anywhere for 30 minutes to an hour. The parents usually bathe in the tub with their young children, because to them its' a way of spending quality time. After my research I began to think about what type of space I would want if I was disabled. I knew that the Japanese culture is centered around nature, so I wanted to incorporate nature into my design. I began to think of ways of how to incorporate nature into my design, I focused mainly on water. My pool in the bathing space is influenced by a tad pol, it was really interesting to me how they change and become something different over time. The pool itself is 4 feet deep and has jets that will massage the individuals lower back and legs, if they wish to exercise while in the pool the jets also allow the person to float easier and move their legs in the water. The back two walls have a water fall on them which will also help relax the individual. In the shower space, the shower head also creates a water fall illusion.

Japenese Bathing

The Japanese bath is much more than just cleaning ourselfs, its about having removed the clothes and daily concerns that over shadow us. Bathing Not only cleans the body but it also relaxes the body. The japanese Considered bathing to be good for both the Physical well beign and spiritual well-being of a person, and typical japanses bath can take up to 30 minutes and it is not uncomon for the children to bath with the parents, many think that this improves their parent- child bonding, For a teenager bathing can take up to an hour or more.Japanses have very opens showers that allow them to interact with each other. The showers are very much different that ours, they are not private, but instead they are more for comunity and interaction. After the shower the individual is suppose to feel at ease and clean.

Dinning Room

Linear Conjuction

When we were first assigned this project, I had many different ideas for this dinning space. From the very beginning I envisioned an open space with light coming through the windows. We were asked to start the project by designing our own table for our space. As I began to think about the table, I thought about the dinning experience its self . I envision my dinning room to be very informal with a high table and stool seating. My table is 3'3" high and its 5' in width and 10' in length. With the space I wanted it to really express my concept of linear conjunction. I felt that the bottom of my table forms a grid pattern that brings the 4 legs of the table together to form a whole, just like when we dine we all come together to share this special moment.
