Harmonic Haven

In this seven week project, principles of procession and space making, functional organization, climate design, and room and facade design, were explored in an urban context. In depth site analysis led to the development of a design conscious of U Street's culture and history. The main concept of this design centers around a cone shaped reading room extending up 3 stories, with balconies on the top 2 floors, allowing for natural light from the skylight and views of the main space from each floor.
