Saco Lake Wellness Center_
SituaSituated in the mountains above Saco Lake, New Hampshire, this design proposal focused on engaging users in unique and multi-sensory experiences within the rugged landscape. Through the use of aperture, form, and materiality, users are gradually exposed to the landscape in engaging ways. The formal language comprises of a series of folding concrete planes that engage in dialogues between planar and sectional elements.
The design process leveraged rapid model prototyping and experimentation to investigate human experience and procession, with the folding formal language amplifying those unique experiences.

Photographs from study models were then collaged to explore material relationships and human experience. My process focused on accentuating moments of spatial drama using mophological compression and release.
