Richmond Virginia has become a lively urban envinroment. Because of its history, the dinamic art scene, and the several social events and festivals, the capital attracts every year more and more turists. Some of them might come for a night, some others might need to stay in the city for months because of their jobs, and some other might be considering to move to the city. “Visitors that don’t want to be turists” look for a space that allow them to interact with the community and engage with the city. Yet, they might need privacy to work. The concept behind the program I am developing is illustrated in the left page. The target market will be further discussed in the following spread.

Alissa is a junior studying marketing

at Virginia Tech. She will intern for the

summer at the Martin Agency, downtown

Richmond. She picked the 4-beds-girls room options. She does not know

anyone in Richmond and she hopes to

meet new friends at Emrick Flat

* these profiles are not real people. The purpose is to give an ac-curate descirption of the people that this project would target.

I did not want to sublease an apartment...Emrick Flat is close to the agency and I am looking forward to make new friends!

Emrick Flats, 101 West Marshall,

is the building I selected for my

proposal

This quote inspired the idea for my thesis project. I have always found interesting how people live and aggregate in communities within urban contexts. What I found even more fascinating, though, is when people that are not part of a community integrate themselves in it, even if it is just for a brief period. These people are not just turists; they want a true experience of the city they are visiting.

The idea is to create a space that will offer rooms where the guest can stay, but also a space where they can work and connect with the Richmond community. The gathering space of the hostel will be also available for local companies/firms to host their events. The guests are then given the opportunity to get in touch with local non profit organization and Richmond based companies.

city are where we are best, where

individuals become communities.

Even though I am not particurlarly religious myself, I have always liked the idea of a monastery. I think that it could be considered to be the first form of “non-profit” organization, with regards to the social impact they may have on the surrounding communities. Monks supported themselves with the products they grow, the preservation of anitique scripts, and by providing shelter to visitors and pilgrims.

1. monasteries

My interpretation of hostel, as place where work and live, is strictly tied with the idea of communal life. Guests will be sharing not only their rooms but also their work spaces. The risk is that visitors may feeling overwhelmed. It seems then extremely important to understand how to create moments of privacy within a shared/public enviroinment.

The monastery is an historical precedent that inspired me to think about communal life at its origin. My intent is to analyze the relationship between private and public in communal contemporary settings, particularly as it appears in hospitality and commercial projects.

{ 0 6 }concept

I also find extremely interesting the paradox of monastic life; they provide a place where individuals go to develop their private relationship with God, however the monks commune without privacy, living and working together, continually involved in communal activities.

2-the hub HUB Westmister is an interesting example of contemporary communal life. A group of Cambridge graduated students opened up a space where entrepreneurs can work and meet. The project started out small and it turned out extremely successful and “HUBS” have already spread in many european city. Few new ones have recently opened up in the US as well. Here is how the founders of the group describe the Hub.

What I like about this project is the idea to design a space that enhance communication and facilitates the networking process of people all over the world. I would like the hostel to be a catalyst for connection between people, visitors - local, local- local, visitors - visitors.

“Hub Westminster was launched on 28th October 2011, with a mission to help 1,000 entrepreneurs and impact businesses & changemakers to start, grow and scale. Located in Pall Mall right in the heart of London, Hub Westminster is dedicated to helping entrepreneurs & changemakers drive the impact economy. We believe there is no shortage of good ideas to solve the issues of our time. But there is an acute lack of collaboration and support structures to help make them happen. The HUB was founded to address this need.”

{ 0 8 } chapter 1

We set out to create spaces that combine the best of a trusted community, innovation lab, business incubator and the comforts of home. Spaces with all the tools and trimmings needed to grow and develop innovative ventures for the world. But above all, spaces for meaningful encounters, exchange and inspiration, full of diverse people doing amazing things.

“The “Savo” building, located in the Split city center core, was turned into a shopping mall at the beginning of this century and, by a guerrilla action in 2010, was transformed into a hostel in 100 days. Public communications – escalators, panoramic elevator and the staircase were kept, and shopping spaces were partitioned by a system of walls that contained everything neces-sary, including; beds, lavatories, showers and toilets.This project presents an urban metropolitan character as well as a continuance of the public realm within a historical membrane.

This project presents many interesting aspects. The space is designed to maximaze efficiency. The interiors are sleek and modern, still warm and welcoming. Beautiful. I will utilize this case study to analyze different typologies of guest rooms. Studio Up reinvented the idea of a dormitory-room in a hostel; reinterpreting japanese capsule hotels. They also came up with a very unique layout for single and double bedrooms.

case-study

29 bedrooms providing a total of 138 beds are spread over three floors in layouts ranging from 8 bed capsule modules to suites with two double beds. On the first two floors the capsule units are by the windows forming corridors fitted with wardrobes, waste bins and lockers.

Drawing their inspiration from Japanese capsule hotels, the architects used OSB (Oriented Strand Board) and Plasterboard panelling to create a simple and practical space. Dominant colors are on the stairs, indoor balconies and projection room are yellow, green and black, resulting in dynamic ambience.Signage and colors are very important design features serving to functionalize, signpost and characterize public and private spaces within the minimalist environment.

Another tribute to 1990s Japanes accomodation is to be found on the second floor where the double/ single rooms and more costly suites resemble mini-housing modules. Studio UP created small enviroment that are like aseptic homes, sharp corners, ladder stairs and cold lighting can seem rather comfortless. However they modern design direction goes prefectly with the existing structure of the old building. On the top floor, they made a great use of the loft space by creating a double space rooms on two levels connected by minimalist ladder stairs. To avoid low ceiling over the bed, the architects positioned the lofted spaces above the restrooms of each restroom.

White is the dominant color for the more intimate type of bedroom.

The main design constraint was was linked to the existing windows. The positioning of dormitory furniture, the installation of bathroom facilities and room orientation on the upper floors were all determinated by the existing grid to ensure sufficient natural and ventilation all year round.

Hub LA was officially opened to the the public at the end of September 2012. On 10/17/2012 I went to tour Hub LA and I was given the opportunity to interview few of the members that are currently working there. In this chapter, I will describe the site and the context of HUB LA. I looked at the interiors of the space to better understand what kind of elements facilitate work and interactions between people in a collaborative work space.

. Hub LA is about the power of people taking action for a better world. We are a new kind of membership club dedicated to the individuals and teams building the local, sustainable economy in Los Angeles and beyond. Anchored by a physical place in the heart of the Arts District in Downtown LA, the Hub offers members access to 4,000 square feet of creative industrial space to work, meet, learn, collaborate, and play; a curated community of values-aligned individuals and companies; and custom programming and events focused on personal and professional development. We combine the best of a cafe, innovation lab, business accelerator, serviced office, and community center to create a place for meaningful encounters, productive work sessions, exchange and inspiration all with the ambition to spur social innovation.

Walking around between the Downtown area and the Art District, anyone would immediately realize that the City of Angeles is not just about Hollywood. Glamorous and superficial people, enviable weather and cutthroat movie business are more a cliche’ associated with the city than the actual reality.

Hub LA is indeed a proof of this. A growing group of “Impact Professionals” (which it defines broadly as individuals with work that creates positive social and environmental change*) populates the Hub LA that just recently opened up the downtown arts district. The site is a lively neighnourhood that was once considered sketchy and bohemien and is now habitated by design, architecture and fine art studios.

The visit at the Hub, made me realize how relevant is the site; considering the social impact of such a place. I highlighted what services (bus, food, schools) the Hub’s neighbour can offer to the people that work and live in the area. Be envoleved in the local community is indeed one of the main point in the Hub’s philosophy. The neighbours partecipate and help the organization to the Hub’s events. Food, for instance is always catered by some of the local restaurants. And few chefs are also starting to teach cooking classes at the Hub. This type of activities is a great way to engage the people that already work at the Hub with people that might not be familiar with it. The Hub becomes, more than just an incubator, workplace etc etc.. and assumes the role of center of activities for the community. Thinking about the program I am developing, I would love to create a space that can respond to its guestsW (people that would sleep and stay at the hostel) but that is also able to get the community envolved.

Hub LA wanted a space that offered many different work environments to work and collaborate on many different types of projects. The space was design by Moses Hacmon, architect and Jesse Gilbert, artist. They reflected upon the idea of “art school studio spaces” as the most flexible one and so they reinterpret that concept when designing the interiors for Hub LA. The diagram above shows the difference layers of private and public space. The most private areas areas (yellow) are created by the enclosure of glass doors and partitions. The designers wanted to take advanted of the great open space but they also wanted to create moments of privacy (grey). They designed reclaimed wood walls that have plants on one side and benches on the other side.

At the Hub we believe space matters. We’ve worked with local artists and designers to create 4500 square feet of flexible work and social space in the Arts District in Downtown LA – a physical environment that spurs creative thinking, supports a culture of collaboration, and is adaptable to suite your moods throughout the day.

“

”

{ 2 8 }

The idea is to to encourage connection and collaboration between different teams so they cut out small windows in each wall to avoid isolation. Then they add matching tables for the benches, the walls become little oasis where the members can gather and maybe relax.

The open space is the one that needed to have the most flexibility to accommodate work situations and events as well.So it was really essential to create modular furniture that could allow the space to change depending on the use.The architect designed desks that work like flowers (image 5 and 6 previus page). They have a center unit and three petals connected to it. The petals have pivots and different connection options to the center unit, which provide different size and shape work tables. Each petal has only two legs and could be easily made flat for storage.

D I AG R A M O N T H E L E F T . The figure on the left is a diagramatic representation of the Emrick Flats building. The thick black lines symbolize the surrounding streets. It is evident than the building is like a lone island between the crossing of three streets. The diagram also wants to hightlight the main masses that make up the total volume of the building. The small yellow form is does not belong to the structure of the Emrick Flats. However it is worthy to notice its presence: that building is the only other construction that is immediately adjacent to the Emrick Flats, and it is the only external presence on the side walk. The red formw indicates the recently added pentahouse. It was built during the last renovation of the building.

Understanding the outer shell of the building is crucial in order to work with the interiors. Where are situated the major points of access? Where are positioned windows and openings? This section of the book is a study of the exterior surfaces of the building as they affect the interior spaces.

The spaces listed in the program, are grouped by the different role they will play in the hostel (see images on the left). Each group of spaces responds to the specifics needs of its users.To strenght the connection between the Emrick Flat Hostel and Richmond, the program must include spaces that will be available to for community events as well. In the following pages, prototypes of each room will serve as illustrated program. The axionometric views, do not represent the final design of each space. They will simply give a visual exemplification of the program.

We’ve separated the various functions of a hotel into a different kind of hospitality experience,” explains Droog’s Machiel Brautigam. The aim is to bring a new cultural hub into the city centre. Instead of merely providing a bed for the night, Droog wants to offer a holistic destination in which you can eat, drink, shop, visit exhibitions, receive beauty advice, or even attend a design-related lecture.

The extra space available in the building will be used for various purposes. For instance, there will be extra conference rooms, more administrative offices and more guestrooms. In phase 2, few other spaces will be added to the program, such as roof top garden and a gallery. In phase 2, I will define which areas of the building I will use and I will also think about the relationship between the spaces that are part of my program and the rest of the building.
