Project Statement: For the Basic Needs Center for the Homeless facility, located in Charlotte, North Carolina, the designer will be responsible for selecting a site near services including medical care, benefits counseling, mental health services, and food. Creating a universal design for the center with be a large part of the design process, as well as creating an interior and exterior space that will provide safety and support while promoting health and well-being.

 

Concept Statement: The concept the designer will be focusing on for the Basic Needs Center for the Homeless facility are the parallels between the use of wayfinding within a building and wayfinding through life. The architectural definition of wayfinding is the use of signs, graphics and directional arrows to help individuals find their way around complex properties and building interiors.

 

For the final academic project for Commercial Design II, I was tasked with creating the interior and exterior of the building used for a homeless shelter. I was given the outer walls of the floor plan, which could not be changed. I was given the rooms and sizes that all needed to be fit within the building. I had to come up with a concept behind all of my design decisions as well as a branding package and logo.

​

Concept Statement: For this design, I wanted to bring the outside, inside. Bringing the beauty and raw organic materials from nature into the workspace. Bringing a sense of serenity and peacefulness will bring a sense of comfort to those coming in seeking coaching. Live plants, icy and living walls are used to bring real plants and rich colors into the space. Glass is used heavily to accentuate the natural light and openness of this space, similar to walking through a field. A tranquil walk through the communal workspace will provide a comfort for all working there.
