Reclaimed wood is used throughout the structure
Inspired by a beaver’s dam. The wood is placed in sparatic stacks to create gaps The gaps allow for light to speckle through and change throughout the day.
Openings at each end allow for indoor/outdoor space to flow interchange-ably.
Diffused glass is used to create protection from rain and weather, while still letting light in. The wood structure is held in a glass case.

The EverYoung Spa is a place for women of all ages to: relax, heal, meditate and breath. The idea of the spa is to give women a place torecuperate and take in the Ontario view.
Dark woods and greenery blend together and surround customers as they enter the spa. Although they are sheltered, the feeling of being outside is intended to calm clients.
360 degree views of water and mountains sur-round the spa, and each room is given a moment captured.
An outdoor patio holds 14 lounge chairs that are comfortable enough to sleep in.
Indoor low lighting and in ground seating allow relaxation.
3A COFFEESHOP AND BAR RENOVATIONINSPIRED BY THE NOVEL, SWEET THURSDAY, BY JOHN STEINBECK
Staunton, VAT H U R S D A YS W E E T
Location: Staunton,VA.
E N T R A N C EWe moved the non-functional stairwell to the right wall. Opening up the entire floorplan for the bar and seating. We used the doorway from the stairwell as the new entrance. Creating a straight shot to the bar.
A.
K I T C H E NWe expanded the kitchen to almost double it’s size .Allowing for extra space for cooking and storage. And creatted an extra egress to outside.
B A T H R O O M SThere was one only one bath-room. We knocked down and added a few walls. Making the kitchen space larger and creat-ing a hallway where two private bathrooms could be created.
S T O R A G EThere was very little storage before the renovation. We created a space for a private office for the owner and for extra storage if needed.

Based off the industrial theme of the book, Sweet Thursday, we created a coffeeshop with rustic finishes and added a hint of glamour throughout.
We used vintage 1950s textiles and hardware as our inspiration. Creating a calm and inviting space with various options of seating.

B A T H R O O M SWe wanted the hallway to the bathroom to carry the same theme as the bar. We wanted customers to experience and touch the rustic finishes of the space.
We created the hallway and bathroom doors out of rustic wood. Allowing the doors to blend and disappear into the walls. The doors are on a track and wheel system. Having the customer touch and feel the wood as they open the bathroom door.
In the bathrooms we used custom concrete sinks and the gold lion wallcovering to resemble the rest of the coffeeshop and bar. It too has the same rustic glamour that the “industrial era” of the book portrays.

Luxury condos in downtown Los Angeles, California.
Inspired by houses on the side of a mountain. These homes are individually unique. 3 different layouts layer on top of one another creating a unique view and balcony for each home.
A rectangular core connects all the condos together. With 2 seperate elevator shafts taking you directly to the door of each apartment. Small lookout and sitting areas near each elevator, give residents private “public” spaces.
A garden rooftop allows for each to experience nature in one of the most polluted URBAN environments in the US. Giving a small OASIS to each tenant.

U M B A U5 An abadoned warehouse is turned into an architecture anddesign studio.
Focusing on collaboration and hands on design.
Industrial Yard, Staunton, VA
UMBAU Architecture is a non-profit A&D firm based out of Staunton, Virginia. The studio prides itself on individual and collaborative thinking.
The Architects and Designers wanted a space that reflects their creative thinking while keeping the integrity of the old warehouse.
Keeping an open floorplan allows for the UMBAU team to rearrange furniture, communicate with one another and see the studio from end to end.
In order to keep the open concept, while still giving pri-vacy to group discussions, meetings, and phone calls, colorful small dividers were added to the space.
The entire building was left primarily white, with the exception of these color blocks. Adding dimension and extra privacy.
reception and main conference room
The Studio
In the back of the building is the studio.Housing two rows of computers for digital drawings and 2 x-large tables for sketching, hand rendering and model making. Encouraging designers to be as hands on as possible.
The use of colorful wall dividers allows for the space to be broken up and create private meeting areas
Collaboration is key to UMBAU’s success. While a lot of the studio is for individual work, the use of pin-up boards and layout tables are placed around the studio for designers to see one anothers work and test ideas.
Each week designers meet together to discuss new ideas and share designs. Allowing for spontaneous and assigned group discussions.
This large meeting area separates the design studio from the conference area. Allowing for meetings to happen seperately and quietly while the designers are free to make a ‘mess’.
Having a view of this area from the main conference room allows for clients and others to see how the UMBAU team works. In some sense having it be a window into the world of the Architects and Designers.
SECOND FLOORThe upstairs is intended for employees to take a moment to breath. As the large windows from the first floor make their way up to the second, natural light pours in to this second floor “terrace”.
Small seating areas allow for the staff to meet together to work over coffee or lunch. Utilizing all times of the day for productivity.
