Residential Units
The residential units are based upon Le Corbusier's, Unite, split level living. There are five different units, one of which is a one-level A.D.A compliant typical.
The idea was to create a new open space living arrangement that also included privacy, many rooms feature curved partition walls to help achieve this idea

Anderson Community Cancer Center
Floor/Furniture Plan
Fall 2009-Spring 2010 - Anderson Community Cancer Center. Radiology and Chemotherapy treatment and examination

Reflected Ceiling Plan
The Reflected Ceiling Plan was designed to help with way finding and enjoyment of the space. Ceiling materials consist of wood and metal custom ceilings with recessed incandescents throughout the corridors, along with a pattern of cut out gypsum wallboard soffits. The ceiling really becomes a main design feature throughout the corridors
With in the exam and therapy rooms Armstrong's 2x2 acoustical patterned tiles are used, to create a more intimate and calming space with flowers and dragon flies
Custom hand-blown glass lighting is used in the reception and waiting area to create a fun and inviting space paired with calming colors of blues and greens
The ceiling features create a fun, interesting and eye catching feature while creating a double use for circulation and way finding

Rendered Elevations
Elevations were rendered in AutoCAD, using hatching and the gradient tool
Elevation 1 shows the rear veiw of the custom reception desk and lighting fixtures, this is where the front office will work and great their patients and visitors
Elevation 2 shows the west wall in the waiting area, it features to metal panels connecting to the custom ceiling and lighting fixtures

Residential Units
Three typical residential units of the upper hotel rooms, small one bedroom, medium two bedroom and a large 2 bedroom with four beds. The large and medium rooms include a kitchen, living room and two bathrooms. The odd shapes were difficult to find appropriate layout solutions, it was a challenge to create a functioning space but a good experience. The typical floor plans get spiced up with detailed, fun ceiling plans
The typicals were designed for extended stay. Riley hospital is located across from the hotel site and is to promote a welcoming fun family environment that engages its users as children, parents and people of all ages

Anderson Community Imaging Center
Floor/Furniture Plan
Fall 2009 - Redesign of an existing floor plan at Anderson Community’s Imaging Center
The Imaging Center in Anderson, Indiana was designed with three main concepts: circulation, comfort and legibility. The facility provides a flowing and working environment that offers ease of movement for information and people. The layout presents an effortless and flowing path that circulates throughout, providing a main route around the facility. By limiting unneeded and confusing corridors, satisfactory circulation is achieved
The space was designed to be an enjoyable and easy environment. Conducive shapes are repeated throughout the waiting and corridors providing psychological balance and comfort for the users as well
