The Oasis Haven Hub

The spaces we are in have a significant impact on our overall well-being, especially during times of stress, uncertainty, or disruptions. These spaces can influence how we feel, inflicting either positive or negative emotions into our everyday lives. While I am inspired by the need to create supportive community spaces, I am aiming to further create a space where individuals also feel welcomed and at peace. And so, my goal is to design a library in the form of a haven, promoting tranquility, comfort, and emotional well-being by utilizing thoughtful architectural and interior design choices. Overall, libraries are often associated with only learning and studying. However, beyond their practical purpose, they could also serve as a space for comfort, reflection, and healing while providing a space for collaborations and learning.

During difficult times, access to a safe and calming space becomes a pivotal need for most individuals, desiring to find solace amidst the chaos they are in. By implementing countless design choices, such as predominantly utilizing soft pastel colors to create a gentle and calming environment, compared to monochromatic elements, as well as rounded edges to avoid institutional appearances associated with rigid public buildings, incorporating greenery and natural lighting throughout my design to encourage one’s connection with nature, and putting high emphasis on the implication of open spaces to reduce feelings of confinement, as well as foster a sense of freedom and stability amidst the difficulties individuals are facing. Due to these reasons, I had exclusively selected the balcony open space section in the Oasis Haven Hub in TinkerCAD for a detailed development in Fusion 360, a pivotal section that best represents my project’s overall design intent on how small architectural choices contribute to mental wellness.

Software:

1. TinkerCAD
2. Autodesk Fusion 360

Planning:

1. Grid Paper
2. Pen
3. Ruler

Skills Applied:

For this project, my initial goal was to create a modern-like space while promoting the concept of mental wellness, an inviting library space encouraging both self-reflection and group collaborations. Early concepts were predominantly focused on creating an open space, a haven for more than just being an instructional setting.

During my planning stage, several components were resized and redesigned to improve proportions, as I had initially sketched out my rough idea on the balcony section I wanted to simulate in Fusion 360, a pivotal feature within my overall design. As countless pieces of furniture and building dimensions were constantly being adjusted to create a more balanced and realistic design. Ultimately, my final design highly emphasizes the importance of accessibility, organization, comfort, and collaboration while promoting a haven open to all individuals.

During my design processes, I found myself reflecting on what types of environments I find solace, comfort, and support in — how these design choices can influence the way people feel within a space. Eventually, I realized that I personally gravitate towards open and welcoming spaces, often avoiding crowded or restrictive areas. And so, my ultimate goal was to incorporate natural lighting, greenery, soft colors, rounded edges, and open spaces within this project. However, as a first-time user of both Autodesk Fusion 360 and TinkerCAD, I soon stumbled upon countless learning curves in each software that vastly differ from each other. As I learned to work and operate between them, both have different approaches to their modelling, organization, and assembly features. Due to their differences, I had to keep on resizing and redesigning furniture that would appropriately fit and complement within their designated space, while uniformly contributing to the overall tranquility of the space.

My process of designing the Oasis Haven Hub was predominantly made up of unionizing issues and design conflicts, requiring unyielding patience and strong problem-solving skills. Nevertheless, due to these learning curves, it had nonetheless strengthened my understanding and fundamental knowledge of CAD software as a high school student, further reinforcing my belief that spaces not only serve a practical purpose, but can also positively impact those who use them through their respective experiences within these thoughtfully curated spaces.

Overall, this project ultimately demonstrates how small architectural and interior designs can extend beyond their respective practical functionality, as they may further encourage mental well-being and serve as a haven of sanctuary amidst life’s chaos, creating meaningful experiences for those who use them — The Oasis Haven Hub being a living proof. Through the use of soft pastel colors, rounded edges, natural lighting, greenery, and open spaces, it encourages peace and comfort, influencing how people feel within a haven of an environment. These design choices provide a welcoming environment for learning, reflection, and community connection — my central goal for this project.

The use of both TinkerCAD and Fusion 360 has helped me explore how digital modelling tools can be used to transform design concepts into detailed three-dimensional spaces — despite the headaches I’ve gained from these learning curves. Consequently, The Oasis Haven Hub is more than a place where individuals can learn and study, as it also serves as a calm and supportive haven where individuals can be connected to nature, experience a sense of openness, and find moments of peace amidst the challenges and uncertainties in everyday life.
