When approaching this unique building the first thing that can be captured is the history that is within the structure. The aged brick façade shows the timeless reuse of this building but is never altered. With this design the brick is not only left to its historical status but becomes the main vocal point of the product. The brick is used in this project to highlight the main exterior communal areas like the Restaurant located in the former courtyard and the Entrance Hall. Some spaces allow for the reuse of the buildings brick whereas others use a variety of similar colors and materials to remain coherent with the existing building. When walking through the main entrance the guest is greeted with a mixture of dark and light tones to contrast the sun as it sets and rises. The flooring in the entrance hall is both stone and wood to mark a contrast between materials as a form of circulation for the residents. The Residential areas and bar/café focus on using more whites and earth tones to build off Paderborn’s variety of natural amenities. The parks that surround the building can be seen from the bar/ café to allow the residents to take in the morning light while enjoying a book from the library located near the café. The Restaurant is used in this design as funnel for light for the residents to be able to enjoy a nice warm breakfast in the warmth of the sun during the day, or at night be able to take in the dimly lit arches as they sit under the night sky. Both the old and new materials are used to give the guests an experience of being outdoors, allowing plants and daylighting to further that experience. Located in every. Residential space is a sunroom that is connected to the bedroom, allowing the guest a space to embrace the light while not being enveloped by it every morning.

There is water located nearby the seating against the left wall to accentuate the light play and seating. It is also used to echo the sounds of running water that are heard throughout the neighboring parks, to create a soothing environment.
I have been a member at First Baptist Church of Farmington all my life and was consulted about an upcoming project on the redesign for the main lobby. This project consisted of a team of three of us consulting with the lead pastor on the budget, color palette , and design considerations to keep in mind when first approaching the project. The color palette was the four main shades of blue that are present in the church's logo. Most of the materials, like the popcorn ceiling and the carpet where already present in the space. The carpet was recen tly applied whereas the popcorn ceiling kept being debated on, whether to use some of the budget to strip it or not. Where the most design development took place was the reception desk, where every Sunday morning there is fresh coffee being brewed. Overall, there were many different iterations developed for the redesign but the finished renderings that were decided upon were voted on by the congregation and our teams renderings ended up being selected. The project still has not begun and does not have a confirmed start date yet, but once time is available the project will commence.
The motto for the church is extruded on the left side of the lobby providing a backdrop for people to take pictures in front of it.
The reception desk is a place for guests to ask questions while also grabbing freshly brewed coffee before enjoying the service.
