Spria Institute of Healing Arts is a peaceful, tranquil school
where people come to learn to be healers. The school will
promote not only the technical expertise to become a
massage therapist but will also instill feelings of empowerment,
harmony, and a connection with the natural world. The serine
environment will be communicated to everyone who walks in
through the use of natural materials, colors, and design
elements. Earth, water, air, and fire will create the harmony
and balance within the school. A water feature in the lobby
will immediately have a visual and audio impact creating a
calming effect. The flow into the school is controlled through
the lobby providing both welcome and security to the campus.
Privacy and openness will be balanced with the use of
translucent materials patterned to allow in light but still visually
obscure the interiors of classrooms and offices. Natural lighting
will come through and be supplemented with warm ambient
lighting from wall sconces and hanging pendants will create
focal points in the school. The seating arrangements will
promote open communication and not create barriers
between faculty and students. Touring the campus will remind
visitors of walking through a meadow surrounded by trees and
plants. Everyone will leave the Spira campus feeling refreshed
and renewed.
Designer: James Woodard
Summary of Design Solutions:
Openness and natural lighting is
achieved through the use of glass
walls and room orientation
Privacy is maintained with textured
glass, sound dampening materials,
and retractable privacy panels
The classroom flooring allows for
proper sanitation and traction for
students with a textured medical
grade flooring
A spa like environment is created with
the use of warm natural colors and
materials, water feature, indirect
lighting, and soothing textures
Ample storage is provided for the
classrooms and transformation of the
classes is achieved with mobile
furniture and retractable privacy
screens
Sustainable materials are used on all
of the wall and floor finishes, LED
lighting and occupancy sensors
provides energy efficiency, and
furnishings and textiles are all
sustainably produced.

Table Terra Concept:

Coming together for a meal in
the garden is relaxing, romantic,
and intimate. A garden dining
experience brought indoors
drives the design solution for
Table Terra. Garden arches start
at the exterior of the restaurant
and passing through the doors
the diner is walking into the
outside. The arches are
repeated in the interior with the
preexisting brick arches. The
brick finish of the walls further the
mood of a garden table.
The colors come from the warm
colors of brick and earth, the
cool colors come from greens
found in vegetation and ivy
growing on bricks. The pops of
colors come from flower colors in
a garden.
Click to enlarge
The finish details and furniture
materials are rustic and come
back to the concept of a garden
table. The table tops are wood,
and the seating and fixtures are
all wrought iron.
The arch, brick, and stone along
with the garden colors and
natural textures come together
to create an outdoor dining
environment inside.

Design Justification

M
M
E
R
C
I
A
L
Designer: James Woodard
The design concept of Table Terra from the
beginning revolved around sustainability. In
theme, concept, specification, design
consideration and execution green design
and environmentally conscious choices
drove the design solution. The existing
natural brick and architectural feature of the
arches are a focal point of the design
features. Additional wall finishes of neutral
natural tones are minimized as are any
additional wall in the existing space. The has
resulted in an open floor plan which allows
for ample clearances for ADA requirements
and ease of egress in the event of the need
for evacuation.
The concept of creating a garden dinning
experience is enhanced by the high ceilings,
wrought iron finishes, and repetition of the
brick arches through out. The motif of the
restaurant is kept current and relevant by the
use of modern geometric patterns in the
upholstery and clean lines of the lighting
fixtures.
The open floor plan can lead to a decrease
in acoustical privacy but the introduction of
living plants and glass partitions allows for
improved privacy while dining.
The natural finishes and materials paired with
the contemporary patterns and forms,
unified through the brick finished walls and
consistent lighting fixtures through out the
interior bring a cohesive, green, and inviting
dinning environment which will bring diners
back for years to come.

Design Concept:
Entering Expedition Empire the
climber will continue to have a
sense of the alpine scale and
theme with a 24’ ceiling and
design elements including the
existing structural columns and
climbing wall drawing the eye up
the same way a mountain peak
calls to a climber. Natural
materials, finishes, and colors are
found throughout the store to
further the alpine and nature
centric theme which also give the
bright colors of the merchandise
an eye catching contrast. The
color palette shall reflect the
same transition of colors found in
an alpine environment with
browns and grays on the floor,
wood tones and greens above the
floor up to eye level, and finishing
with blue and white of the
mountain sky higher on the walls
and ceiling. Climbers will feel a
sense of being in a comfortable,
familiar environment generating a
desire to acquire the equipment
needed for their next climbing
expedition.

Design Concept
Compass Rose Designs will provide a design solution for the Smith Residence which will draw directly
from the Federal and Georgian style of historical American Colonial interiors while incorporating
modern technology, construction methods, and sustainable materials to create a new classic interior
for the 21st century.
The focal point of the design is the unique curved ceiling and sources for natural light. The spaces will
be unified by the use of the comparable flooring and complementing color schemes and the use of
traditional Federal and Georgian style furnishing and paneled walls in all rooms. The repetition of
smooth ceiling treatments with medallions used for chandeliers and crown moldings will also be a
unifying element.
The color palette will draw from the traditional colors found in Colonial America with soft pastels
serving as the primary colors and deep, rich colors as secondary and accent colors. The upholstery
used will be a blend of striped patterns and flowery motifs from the period. The Federal period will be
further reflected in the palladian windows added in the media room. Rugs will add additional texture
and definition for seating areas. Bronze and marble sculptures and traditional artwork will be
displayed prominently in the interior using modern lighting.
Compass Rose Designs’ final design solution will give the Smith Residence a formal elegant interior
which take the best elements of historical designs and blend them with the best features found in
modern interiors creating a unique modern American home.

Textiles
Notes:
Federal and Georgian styles include typical textiles
which ranged from silk like smooth textures to slightly
coarse texture including some velvets, damasks, and
brocades. Patterns and motifs where influenced by
Chinese and Rococo styles and English garden block
printed patterns. Colors were bright and vivid including
blue, gold, red, coral, and teal.

Design Concept:
The kitchen and bath design for the Andersons will be in the
Craftsman style giving the kitchen and bath a natural feeling
without loosing the formal function of a traditional styled
kitchen. The underlying design of the kitchen and bath will
meet the sustainable needs of the family with recycled,
reclaimed, and alternative materials. This design will give the
kitchen a traditional formality and modern materials and
controls. The combination of the earth tone color pallet of
greens, browns, and greys will compliment the natural wood
and stone finishes.

Design Concept
The Tuscan Old World theme
will give the Cages and their
visitors the feel of being in the
ancient world yet is
comfortable and inviting. As
one travels through the home
a sense of comfort and
elegance becomes
apparent. The retreat of the
master suite gives the Cages
a place of refuge and
solitude from the modern
world without leaving behind
the modern connivances.

Flexibility of Design
The nature of this design
solution is one that is not
rooted in any one element but
which draws upon all of the
elements weaving them into a
cohesive whole. If the clients
wish to change, eliminate, or
add a particular element this
can be easily be done. The
mix of patterns, styles, colors,
and finishes is eclectic and
can adjust to several changes
as needed. Overall this is one
of the greatest strengths of this
design solution as it can adapt
and change over time without
having to create a completely
new design solution.
