The Delta Collaboration Center is where Delta and their business partners come together with open lines of communication, discussing new ways to accelerate their innovation leadership. This space encourages idea sharing about enhancing the consumers experience: product displays, marketing, and presentations. The center has different testing areas for new ideas and allows for participants to experience innovations as customers would. Located near Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the Collaboration Center encourages new ideas to be created, shared, and expanded upon; a creative environment with an innovative design approach that encourages important conversations.

Delta Collaboration Center Food is an important part of any flight with Delta, whether the Biscoff Cookies or a gourmet first class meal. The tasting space allows visiting partners to sample new foods and beverages under the wing of the Boeing 777. Chicago O’Hare International Airport inspired the windy city wall as well as the glass wall that is mimicked in the airport’s main terminal.

The Boeing 777, one of three aircrafts in the Delta Collaboration Center is located in the rear of the building. This will be the last stop for Delta and their visiting business partners during their innovation day at the Collaboration Center. Making the innovative process become more tangible, less theoretical is an important part of the center. By experiencing the new consumer ideas created during the day, partners get a better understanding of the ideas they have been cultivating.

The Hub is the central meeting space in the Collaboration center where Delta and their visiting business partners can regroup throughout the day. This space is where the day will start and end; most presentations for new concepts will be held in this space, as well. Suspended projection screens allow for full mobility and easy visibility for all meeting participants. A Maya Lin inspired art sculpture is located in the center of the Hub between the tables. Looking down on the landscape as passengers would while flying, visiting business partners and Delta team member will experience this during meetings in the Hub.

Entering the Delta Collaboration Center, TVs display images of iconic Delta history and events. Visitors will move from the front desk into the reception hall with the Fort Worth Alliance Airport watchtower as their view. All reception events are held under the wing of an Airbus A-319.

The Shinjuku Grand is a luxury hotel and spa located in Shinkjuku Japan. The hotel has 30 floors on the bottom three there is a dispersion of Retail, Workplace, Fine dining and event halls. On floor 4 and 5 there is a luxury spa for guests. We designed 5 different types of hotel rooms ranging in size and luxury. This hotel was a group project that was worked on between three designers from the University of Georgia. We collaborated on every part of the project while still maintaining our individual design styles. The hotel as a whole will allow guests to feel the fluidity and motion of the natural balanced qualities of Japanese culture and tradition.

The Shinjuku Grand lobby is has a mixed use of elegant and natural elements to portray a feeling of being able to flow through the space. As the guest walks in there is a rock garden with a water feature on either side of the main entry doors. The flooring has different tones of marble as a form of way-finding though the space to the front desk and beyond. There are dropped ceilings to make the space feel more intimate and allow the guest to sit and relax in this grand space.

This space gives the client the sense of the Calm before the storm because working with lawyers, in

general, is a very stressful experience. Walking into the firm, the client will be able to sense the calm

in the space, before they begin working on their employment issues with the CJO law team. The

geometric ceiling panels will feel like clouds, while the neutral cork floors give the natural outdoor

sense of the Calm Before the Storm.

Athens primary crop when it was first established was wheat. The

inspiration for the some of the materials and colors in the law firm

came from the wheat plant. The logo was designed with this same

concept of wheat being the basis of Athens beginnings

Gallery and Residence Design

The home, office , and gallery space project is designed for an Interior designer, who just graduated and is married with a five year old daughter. This young family likes a bal-anced mixture of comfortable atmosphere and modern style. This space is going to feel connected wherever client goes. Walking into the gallery, there will be a cohesive collec-tion of art work from traveling art show that will be open for public use. The studio will help with collaboration and interaction between people working in the space because of its open floor plan. Upstairs this young family will be able to have their own space in the bedroom area but the common area with help them feel united with more space to interact with one another.
