Advanced Design - the Living Small studioPortable Dwelling Unit - the retreat
spring 2007Professor Robert Gay
Based on my continued research of the re-treat, I chose a fi nal project site in WoodvilleTexas, creating a weekend getaway for afriend.
THESIS:Retreat is the focus. The notion of retreatinvolves the escape from daily life, routines,and conveniences. This small dwelling will be a place that renders relaxation and pro-vides an escape for the client. This escapepromotes a clean space that has the op-portunity to react and bring in aspects of thprevalent natural surroundings. By condensing and programming storage and amenitieinto enclosed blocks of space, a freedomcan be achieved in a small fl oor plan that otherwise would be obstructed by excess. There is a necessary consideration to bringnatural light into the dwelling as one reverts back to a dependence on nature, and therefore the sun as a primary light source.

As part of the branding scheme, we developed a six inch tall alcove inwhich three feet long acrylic boxes would be placed. These boxes would contain the natural materials with which Fluor commonly worked. These same materials have helped make the company’s mark on the global industries of engineering and procurement.

Our concept was to mergethe mechanical dealings of their daily lives with humanistic aspects to refl ect the respect for their workers.

The glass cylinders, colored by Fluor’s signature blue and lit from within, shift up and down slowly between the atrium levels when set off by motion sensors as guests enter the building. This not only lets
the guest interact with their environment, but also gives the employ-ees regular information about visitor arrival.
