Studying Context

In developing intelligent design, we always consider context first. Regardless of scale or project type, the goal is always the same: seamless integration. In this schematic study for a new hospital, we are understanding the existing systems of movement within the local community in order to shape our site and building flow in ways that are compelling, convenient and welcoming to the neighborhood. In this scheme our goal aims to create not only a functional hospital but a cultural hub for a wide range of activities and public functions.

Location: Lake Charles, Louisiana

In this material study, PDS was challenged to find a simple and cost effective way to make an ordinary brick wall appear extraordinary and dynamic. In an attempt to make the massive 65,000 SF building feel light weight, we are working with a gradient of 3 brick types. Moving from darkest at the bottom and fading slightly to a light colored brick, we ended by capping the building with a Bone colored roof in a final gesture of lightness and visual balance.
