For the adaptive reuse of the Pufferbelly Depot my concept protrays the structural grid of subway tile with the organic curved lines of an original urinal found in the train station. I applied the structural grid to the layout of the floor plan and incorporated the curves into built-in items and furniture. The colors of green, brown, cream and copper were derived from my client's request, her weaved basket designs, and the urinal. I feel that the concept of the organic strutural unity was very well portrayed throughout my design of the depot. I also believe that I show a strong understanding of sustainability through the use of smart materials choices, the use of mulituple duel plumbing walls, and by using a significant amount of exisitng interior walls in the depot. One thing I would do differently in the future if doing this project again would be to make sure that all spaces within the depot were ADA accessible. Between the master bedroom and the master bathroom, there is a 3ft wide hallway. This is ADA compliant when traveling in one direction. However, it would not be complient with ADA standards when someone in a wheelchair were trying to turn a corner to enter the next room. Overall, I am very pleased with my design for the adaptive reuse of the Pufferbelly Depot.
