Blanca and Greg have bought a parcel of land in Antigua, Guatemala where they plan to settle down and open an Eco-Resort. The land is on a hill that gradually inclines and currently has several avocado trees that they do not want to remove. The Resort must be self-sustainable (off the grid). Sustainable design principles such as solar panels and grey water systems will be implemented to take advantage of the natural weather. Natural beauty and the view of three

nearby volcanoes will draw in tourist, to stay at the resort for a couple days or to come for a romantic dinner. Blanca’s love for Mayan Culture and Spanish-Colonial Architecture will drive the design concept, creating a resort that encompases both while never taking away from the true focal point, the natural landscape. This is truely a resort where one can come to escape and rejuve-nate their spirit.

taj mahal hotel

hospitality

hospitality design l david larkin l spring 2010

In creating the single and double suites for the Taj Mahal Hotel in Mumbai, inspiration came from the play of light and shadow and a modern interpretation of the traditional indian design. Where travelers could stay in a revived, hip modern hotel that played on the tradi-tional indian motifs.

The bathroom is separated by a decora-tive screen that allows light to penatrate through the spaces creating a luxurious open airy feeling while still having the ability to close off the bathroom for more privacy.

bio space

site specific public art

“bio-space” is an environment re-sembling a greenhouse composed of individual terrariums in which multiple ecosystems can thrive and interact with each other. The design and structure of the space raise awareness of human intervention while promoting a mutually beneficial relationship. The compact cohabitation of different ecosystems provides a beacon for how to live harmoniously as a community. “bio-space” can offer a tangible oppor-tunity for the communal involvement as cultivators and caretakers of the plant life, serving as a model for conserva-tionism within the greater world.

Overall, the experience of “bio-space” will be meditative, educational, reflec-tive, and interactive. Visitors will come away with a deeper understanding of their impact on the environment and an appreciation for the variety of natu-ral systems. Lastly, “bio-space” will reinforce the conservation mission of the San Francisco Zoo and its role as a biological park.

final proposal

When first presenting the idea of creating a terrarium or terrarium like space inside the zoo, we presented three different options of material and scale. The final propos-al to the zoo incorporated transformation of materials, scale, and location to meet the zoo’s requirements.

Designed for the Oopening Reception at the Zoo. This poster was created to provide guests with the general information of the projects created for the Zoo, location of installations, and artists names.
