INSTITUTIONAL DESIGN

CONCEPTSTATEMENT

The diamond’s sharp, faceted edges collide with transparent

and reflective features to form the perfect balance of hard

and soft. Concrete floors and glass panels used throughout

the four floors of this building mimic these elements with

ease and provide a space that is light, bright and full of life

while maintaining an edgy sophistication that is the

perfect backdrop for this fashion forward school.

CONCEPTSTATEMENT

The Flora treatment center is designed in a way that helps

evoke the healing effect that flowers have on the human

mind, body and soul. The nurturing forms of curved

walls and ceilings will embrace the patients while warm,

natural light filters in through every space, resting upon

sustainable materials with soft and calming colors inspired

by the delicate and vibrant petals of the lotus.

REGALCONCEPT

STATEMENTSet in the Palms Springs desert, The Leila Hotel and Spa is

the ideal place to relax and unwind. Inspired by the

Arabesque elements and details like the Octogram of

Morocco and the Middle East, guests will enter into another

world. The color palette of turquoise, blue, gold, white and

grey is the perfect homage to the majestic aura of it’s time

and provides a sense of calm and serenity.
