Scope
For this project, we had to implement wayfinding and user experience touchpoints to a developing luxury apartment complex (The Estrella). For each touchpoint/space we designed two options that were interchangeable in the space. Wayfinding implementations range from furniture pieces to entire spaces.
Concept
Influenced by the artistic and cultural roots of Columbus, Estrella serves as a hub of activity that invites individuals of all different backgrounds in the city to gather. With a gallery at its core, Estrella ignites creativity and encourages its residents to transform their everyday journeys into an art form. Estrella incorporates sculptural design elements and patterns that fully immerse the user into the space. By focusing on the small details, the Estrella is able to elevate the everyday for its residents.
This project was in collaboration with Brianna Gallagher and Eason Chen.
The Estrella can Serve as a "blank canvas" for the city of Columbus.
