Week 1: Concept Development
DHML Design is made up of Denisa Wohnoutka, Hanna Ainsley, Meredith Majors, and Lindsay Rule. As you can see our firm name is made up of the initials or the members, which equally represent each one of us and our talents. The idea for the logo was designed to incorporate both architecture and interior design, which are necessary for this project to work.
The project is a Senior Wellness Center and our building will be placed on the site near the Moore Norman Technology Center, 13301 South Pennsylvania, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. It is a large site with an interesting layout; instead of a rectangular shape, it has a curve which follows the connecting road. We would like to take this into consideeration when planning our facility.
We began with creating our concept which is based around "reconnection". We want to design a wellness center that promotes reconnection with the mind, body, spirit, and fellowship for the senior citizens. Connecting the various spaces cohesively, creating visual connections between the interior and exterior,and ultimately reconnecting senior citizens with activites that are fulfilling as well as educational and beneficial to their way of life are the primary goals of this concept. However, the center should also be one that connects to the community.
This week continued with collaboration on all aspects of the project from the research to developing spatial relationships.
Continuing the collaboration and moving at a well driven pace our goals for the next week include:
1. Developing a more concrete footprint
2. Addressing the spatial relationships of the program needs
3. Start form and massing of the architectural elements
