RESTORE: The Embassy of Single Parents
When designing the embassy I wanted the structure to be a place for parents and their children, to get support and comfort together. The greenhouse at the core of the building is an important part of the building because it is designed to be a therapeutic space that would be beneficial for the clients. This space is temperate with fresh air coming from the live plants and soothing sounds of the water coming from the back walls. With a skylight at the top of the space, it will glow and illuminate as the heart of the building. The comforting feeling of nature was a motif throughout the building, with the soft wood walls, trees, and plants throughout the building. The interior and exterior spaces of my building flow together and create a nurturing and productive experience leaving the clientel with a restorative feeling even after their departure.
The embassy is designed using mirror-finish, bronzed stainless steel, pine wood paneling, and glass. These materials create a beautiful contrast through out the space.
