THE LAGUNA BEACH LOFT

RESIDENTIAL LOFT PROJECT I 2024

HARDING UNIVERSITY

Carlos Cardoza, a 30-year-old immigrant from Antigua, Guatemala, is a professional chef with nine years of experience. Now residing in Laguna Beach, California, Carlos is committed to combining his passion for cooking with his desire to make a positive impact. Drawing from his personal experience with food insecurity in Guatemala, Carlos plans to offer private cooking lessons to high-end clients, using the proceeds to support feeding centers in his hometown. Additionally, on Saturdays, he will open his home to provide free cooking lessons and home gardening skills to those in need. His 10-year-old son will also live in their loft, requiring a homeschooling setup. The loft space will be designed to reflect and elevate Carlos’s Guatemalan heritage while providing a luxurious atmosphere for both private lessons and family living.

concept statement

Carlos’ downtown loft is envisioned as a vibrant homage to Guatemala’s rich cultural tapestry. Infused with the spirit of ancient Mayan traditions, the grandeur of Catholic architecture, and the vibrant artistry of Guatemalan textiles, this space will be a captivating fusion of heritage and modernity. Designed to be both inviting and exhilarating, the loft will showcase handcrafted tiles, traditional fabrics, and natural materials such as wood, all set beneath high ceilings and adorned with bold patterns. Here, luxury meets tradition, creating an elegant sanctuary that echoes the warmth and artistry of Guatemala. This home will be a dynamic haven that offers a rich sensory experience, bringing the essence of Guatemala into a modern, sophisticated home.

HARDING UNIVERSITY

The clients, Warren and Reese Parker are looking to design a home located in Seattle, Washington, United States for their small family of three. They have asked for your help in designing a final home that addresses their needs and family goals. Warren and Reese and are in their 50’s with a 10th grader at home. Two years ago, Reese was diagnosed with PTSD as a result of a major injury while serving in the military. Due to this injury, Reese is wheelchair bound. This event has created significant lifestyle changes. Therefore, the family would like their home to consider the following: aging in place, accessibility, wellness, and traumainformed design. Because Warren's investment firm has been extremely successful, this will be their dream home and the budget is open. They also request that the home is no larger than 3,700 sq. ft.

concept statement

This home will be a sanctuary where wellness, balance, and comfort take center stage. Rooted in a fusion of French Provincial elegance and Japanese aesthetics, the space embodies warmth and serenity, offering a haven for a mother who is both a veteran and a survivor of PTSD. Every detail is crafted to foster ease, from the seamless accessibility of each room to the soft, natural materials that envelop the home in a sense of safety and tranquility. Open, airy spaces invite light and movement, while intentional nooks provide moments of rest and reflection. Inspired by the Zen garden, the landscape and interiors work in harmony to cultivate wholeness, grounding the family in peace, comfort, and the gentle rhythms of nature.

CULTURAL PAVILLION CHARETTE

BRAZILIAN PAVILLION I 2025

HARDING UNIVERSITY

Brazil’s culture is a vibrant blend of indigenous traditions, African heritage, and Portuguese influences. Family is central, with strong bonds across generations. Brazilians value joy, resilience, hospitality, and celebration, seen in their easygoing social style and national love for festivals like Carnival and Festa Junina. Brazil’s creative spirit shines through its colorful art, dynamic music, and lively dance traditions: From indigenous crafts to modernists like Tarsila do Amaral, Brazilian art embraces color, movement, and a deep connection to nature.

Music & Dance: Samba and Bossa Nova define Brazil’s rhythm, while Forró, Capoeira, and Funk Carioca showcase regional energy. Dance is deeply social and expressive, tied to both ritual and celebration. While predominantly Catholic, Brazil’s religious landscape is rich with African-Brazilian faiths like Candomblé and Umbanda, alongside Evangelical and indigenous beliefs. Spirituality often blends traditions, celebrating community, nature, and ancestry.

concept statement

The “San Paulo Roots Pavilion” is an immersive celebration of Brazil’s natural beauty and cultural spirit, inspired by the Amazon and organic architecture. Its flowing structure and raw materials echo Brazil’s landscapes and modernist design. Seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor spaces, the pavilion features a lush garden, a central stage for samba, capoeira, and indigenous storytelling, and vendor stations offering local crafts and cuisine. Blurring the lines between nature, movement, and culture, it invites visitors to experience the heartbeat of Brazil and reconnect with its roots.

STEELCASE COMPETITION I 2025

HARDING UNIVERSITY

As NEXT expands its global presence with a new Los Angeles office, the firm faces the challenge of designing a workplace that responds to rapid shifts in the legal profession, including economic volatility, digital transformation, hybrid work, and new generational expectations around flexibility, well-being, and purpose. Traditional law firm environments centered on prestige no longer meet the evolving needs of clients or employees, and NEXT must create a space that is resilient, inclusive, and deeply connected to how people actually live and work. To maintain its legacy of growth and client service while attracting and supporting diverse talent, the Los Angeles office must balance client-centered functionality with a human-centered culture—providing adaptable work modes, fostering mentorship and collaboration, and reinforcing the firm’s commitment to being “rooted in law, driven by legacy.”

SEMI-FINALIST IN THE NEXT STEELCASE COMPETITION

concept statement

Rooted in law and shaped by legacy, this concept centers on the grounding power of the steps we take each day. A legacy is not defined by singular achievements but by the steady moral and emotional footprint we leave through our actions, values, and choices. Each footprint represents a mark: a trace of presence, intention, and impact. To leave meaningful footprints, we must be willing to take deliberate steps. In doing so, we ground ourselves, creating stability that allows us to move forward with clarity and purpose. This design supports that grounding process by fostering a wellness-centered environment where employees can continually put their best foot forward.Engaging all the senses, the space encourages connection and calm: visual grounding, meditation areas, the sound of water, calming natural scents, and nourishing market produce. These elements work together to anchor individuals in the present moment, helping them feel balanced, supported, and prepared to create lasting impact. Here, grounding becomes the foundation of legacy—each step intentional, each footprint a mark of progress.

“ rooted in law, driven by legacy “ a footprint represents a mark, trace, or impact left behind by an action, presence, or system to leave our footprints, we have to be be able & willing to take the steps that leave marks in the process of taking these steps we are grounding ourselves and therefore propelling ourselves forward to leave a mark in the work place , we must create a wellness centered environment that prepares employees to continually set their best foot forward

a legacy is the long-term effect you have on others through your actions, values, and beliefs. It is the emotional and moral footprint you leave behind, and it is shaped not just by accomplishments but by daily choices. It is a way to ensure that your life and lessons continue to influence future generations.
