Design Principles and Interventions

1st Year Course Project - Student Oasis in The New Adelphi Building, January 2020

A Student Oasis - a space providing students with a study, relaxation and recreational area within one, three storey structure. In my design, the ground floor was the study area, providing 3 types of seating options and opportunity to study alone or in groups. The first floor is accessible through a lift from the ground floor, and this floor is the relaxation area. Again offering 3 seating types, including low level seating such as bean bags and pouffes, and varying levels of lighting throughout the space to offer areas for complete relaxation. The second floor is half the length of the other two floors, providing an area of recreation without disturbing the quiet area on the floor below. This floor offers a pool table along with table seating for board games and an area for console gaming with a capacity of 3 people seated. Access to this floor is through the mezzanine area on the 3rd floor of the New Adelphi Building.
