Spring 2021, Sophomore year
Solo Project
The Defenders of Wildlife non profit organization works hard every day to prevent species and their habitats from becoming imperiled, protect endangered and threatened species and their habitats, and restore the health of vulnerable species and their habitats. The employees of DoW will now have an office space that will allow them to be productive, inspire them, and remind them of their goal every day. To keep the space sustainable, all materials used will be made out of recycled products with some even being cradle-to-cradle materials. By designing the office with universal design in mind, it allows anyone to visit and work in the space comfortably.
The office building will be full of natural colors and plenty of foliage and plants to both make the space a calming environment and emulate the outdoors without actually being outside. Using natural woods, acoustical clouds, and utilizing all of the natural light through large windows will make the space feel like an open field. Providing DoW with a space that is bright, colorful, and full of ties back to nature itself, will immediately give visitors an idea of what DoW is all about and give all employees a beautiful space to be able to accomplish the organization's mission.
