THE.Otis

The focus is to redesign a historically preserved hotel in Spokane, Washington the Otis Hotel. It resides in a neglected neighborhood in the West District in downtown and has great potential to be renovated into a space that would benefit the entire downtown community. The idea is to turn this previously abandoned hotel into a mixed use complex that will include space for a community market, art gallery, multipurpose room, low and high end living apartments on the top floor.

COTTONWOODIntegrated Health

The Serenity Integrated Health center uses holistic design to empower individuals to heal

themselves through the positive impacts and flow of the space. The spaces are designated by the Feng

Shui elements- fire, wood, earth, and metal. A central staircase,

which acts as a fountain, represents water and correctly balances the environment and maximizes its potential to the

people.Feng Shui is believed to use the

laws of both Heaven and Earth to help improve life by receiving posi-

tive qi, or energy. It is a multi-faceted approach which can

bring balance, health, and harmony when properly organized with the elements and colors and symbols

that represent them. The elements are said to bring the

following:

Wood : Prosperity Earth & Fire: Health

Metal: Creativity &Strength Water: Family
