• To serve meals to the needy.
• To provide safe shelter.
• To provide volunteer hours.
• To help men and women find jobs.
• To provide special programs for children.
• To encourage people in need.
Recently, I contacted a transitional housing facility. I reached out to Miami Rescue Mission’s Broward Outreach Center at 954-954-926-7417.
The facility has been serving the homeless and needy of Miami and Broward since 1922. It is located at 2056 Scott Street in Hollywood, FL
33020. I spoke with Vel McKen. She is the Human Resources Director for the organization. The types of programs her organization provides
include emergency shelter, residential programs, job training, education, computer literacy classes, healthcare, transitional housing,
permanent housing, employment opportunities for homeless men, or women, and programs for youths who are “at-risk”. The goals and
ambitions of Miami Rescue Mission’s Broward Outreach Center are to serve meals to the needy, to provide safe shelter, to provide volunteer
hours, to help men and women find jobs, to provide special programs for children, and to encourage people in need.

The Community Activity Center is a typical gathering space for the organization. The facility was opened in 2001. While in this space
children learn standard academic skills, participate in organized sports, learn how to swim, and they participate in various drama/music
groups. The Education and Career Center is where men and women learn. They are taught how to increase their reading and math levels,
and they learn valuable computer skills. In 2008, The Community Activity Center provided one hundred thousand hours of education to
men and women.

The typical women and children who stay at the shelter are abused, abandoned, and frightened. They are homeless, and in some cases
addicted to alcohol and drugs. They are single parent moms with children. They are incapable of being self-sufficient. Their typical need is a
helping hand. They need help realizing that they are not what their issues is. They need help working through their actual issue. Also, they
need insight coupled with a second chance to better themselves. So, meals, bed stay, basic hygiene products, showers, and donations are
provided to women and children in private units.
In May 2009 the clinic portion of the organization was opened. Throughout 2009, the clinic saw eight thousand new
patients. The clinic provides patients with medication, lab work, and every available medical service at no cost to them.
Also, patients are seen on a “no-ask, no-tell” basis. It means that the clinic will see anyone- whether they have insurance
or not. The Miami Rescue Mission’s Broward Outreach Clinic provides pediatric services, as well as service to men,
women, and the youth population of homeless people. The Miami Rescue Mission’s Broward Outreach Clinic will not turn
anyone away, because their biggest goal is to encourage homeless people to be accountable for their health.

“Helping men, women, and children with meals, safe shelter, life-changing residential programs, employment, and
housing resulting in transformed lives. Our passion is to follow the Lord Jesus Christ’s great commission by serving others”
(www.browardoutreachcenters.org).

CONCEPT STATEMENT
The visual ideas for Building 2 Tucson Arizona Transitional Home is to offer a

composed house with motivating details to encourage independence. Bright, but

palliative colors will fill the rooms with ambience. Pueblo Style Revival is art,

architecture, and interior design. Pueblo Style furniture is constructed using rich

wood. The furniture is upholstered using colorful textiles. Balance and contrast are

created by integrating whites hues, off whites, and earth tones with bright colors.

Ceilings, walls, windows, doors, floors, and details offers the beholder indescribable

feelings and moods. Building 2 Tucson Arizona Transitional Home will be beautiful

and peaceful while providing a safe place for homeless women and their children

to call home.

COLOR PALETTE EXERCISE
This color scheme consist of varying hues of pink, green, blue, and yellow. These colors are thought to have a
calming effect. The color pink gives a feeling of femininity to the room, while blue gives a feeling of
masculinity. These warm colors evoke feelings warmth and comfort. The cool shades of green and yellow
evoke feelings of happiness, optimism, and energy. This color scheme will help to influence the residents to
live happier, more stable lives. They will be used throughout the space in the furnishings. They will contrast the
desert and sand feel of the pueblo style house.
This color scheme features earth tones, and rich warm colors with a brownish hue. Earth tones and brownish
hues are classic colors of Pueblo Style Revival. This color scheme will compliment the historical preservation of
the building. Brown, and shades thereof, is a natural color that evokes a sense of strength and reliability. It is
often associated with resilience, dependability, security, and safety. Shades of white represent purity or
innocence. Whites are bright and they can create a sense of space. This seems important for a transitional
home that empower residents to change their ways for the belter.
This color scheme features tints and tones of green, and brown. This color palette will be added to enhance
good vibes throughout the environment. They will give the right amount of contrast to work with- subtle,
neutral contrast- just by bringing in the perception of mother earth. Green symbolizes nature, and has a
calming effect. Brown symbolizes the earth, and is seen as solid. This color scheme will be the resident’s great
escape to a calm house and home.
 Custom Color Scheme 1

Custom Color Scheme 1 will evoke a palliative and fostering

environment. These awesome colors will add serenity, gladness,
and elation to the facility’s overall look and feel. Using pink, blue,
and yellow colors to brighten the space, while using whites, and
off white hues to balance the bright colors to contrast the desert
sand feel of this pueblo style house.
 Custom Color Scheme 2

Custom Color Scheme 2 contains shades of green and brown. The home is
Pueblo Revival Style so natural earth tones need to be maintained. Greens
and soft greens, browns and soft browns must be used to maintain historical
value. Throughout the history of Pueblo Revival Style- earth tones have value.
Using Custom Color Scheme 2 throughout the facility will reinforce soothing
sensations, offer a peaceful atmosphere, promote happiness, promote
change, encourage the residents to not be afraid to live their lives
differently, and encourage them to live better.

JUSTIFYING THE SOLUTION
I chose color as a dominant element and principle. The right color palette is essential in interior design. Pueblo Style
architecture and interior design owns a standard color palette. Using those dedicated colors preserved the historical
value of the style and the building.

Balance was another dominant element that I used. Balance helped me position furniture and fixtures in a manner that
created the perfect perspective of the Gathering Space and the Apartments. I used a combination of asymmetrical
and symmetrical balance to create my design.

The built-in wall unit was the greatest and most influential element of Building 2. The built-in wall unit is the focal point of
the Gathering Space. Focal points are important. Focal points are the items that are decorated to create a dominant
impression of a room- so I designed a focal point using the built-in wall unit.

My subdominant principle in my design was rhythm. I used rhythm in the simplest manner. I used rhythm to dictate the
visual patterns and repetitions you saw. Finishes and furniture were used to transition and contrast rhythmic patterns.
Earth tones contrasting bright colors, or natural wood contrasting leather, and porcelain created a sub-dominant form
of rhythm.

The selected furniture represented the architectural style, and detail of the Pueblo Revival. And, the furniture supports
the services to be provided by the transitional home. The furniture is modern, authentic, classic, and pleasing to the eye.
Elements, principles, and details of my design meet the need of the client aesthetically and functionally.
Contract upholstery material are used to meet the needs of the client. The materials come from the best
manufacturer of quality design. They were meticulously woven, and meticulously tested. For example, Ducale Wool
Robins Egg (Key: D) was tested for durability- it met and exceeded 100,000 rubs using the Martindale Method of
testing. Linen Weave-Fin (Key: A) met and exceeded 25,000 double rubs using the Martindale Method of testing. It is
made from Flax, Cotton, and Viscose. It is an upholstery material that conforms to the appropriate durability and
weight for fabric for a project like this.

My design choices will advance the theme of Tucson’s Transitional Home. My design choices will influence the
occupants to live happier, more stable lives with colors like pink, green, yellow and white. Earth tones, wood, and an
exposed beamed ceiling will encourage that. Lighting fixtures that are sustainable, that provided general lighting,
are provided by wall sconces, flush mounts, and chandeliers. Recessed lighting, floor lamps and table lamps were
used as well.

I was influenced by Universal Design too. I wanted Tucson’s Transitional Home to be comfortable and safe for the
occupants. I want the users of the facility to be a variety of women and children who are different from each other
so that you and I both can see how neither age nor individual ability would be an obstacle at Tucson’s Transitional
Home.

I employed applications, codes, egress requirements, and environmental design choices that make the facility
simple and easy to use. Every barrier that I could think of was removed from Building 2. Every device, service, and
constructed element can be used by any occupant at any time. The design applications I chose accommodates
ADA standards. Each person’s individual preference and ability can be accommodated. I designed Tucson’s
Transitional Home in a manner that will allow everyone to understand Building 2, and to use the facility by
perceptible information.

REFLECTING
Space planning is a concept that will be most helpful to me as I continue in my studies. It includes blocking out spatial
areas, defining circulation paths, developing floor plans, furniture layout, and equipment placement. I will continue to
remind myself that the main goal of space planning is to create efficiency, create space, and create more storage.

Vision is another concept that will be most helpful to me. Once I have an idea of how I think the space should function, I will
combine the requirements of the design with aesthetics, with my client’s desired atmosphere, and research and
development so that I create a concept for the space that is timeless and long-lasting.

As I continue my studies in Interior Design I will continue to combines different materials, shapes, patterns, and textures to
affect how a person experiences my design philosophy. From experience, I’ve realized that the differences between
contrasting elements can enhance their essential properties.

In the early parts of this project I worked on team with two other designers. They are Vanessa Polanco, and Tami Smallwood.
It was a positive experience for me, because each of us had something significant to contribute to the overall design
outcome. I liked the designs we came up with. It was fun to work in that atmosphere because we did so from 3 totally
different parts of The United States of American. At the end of our collaboration I developed a nostalgia for them. But at the
end of that experience, also I realized that I feel excited about my future in my career.
