During the Schematic
Design phase, my partner
and I carefully laid out the
program by sketching and
creating small models to better
map out the space.
Our inspiration was the
downtown street environment
itself.

Development phase, we
finalized our building layout.
We were able to incorporate
Houston’s downtown

creating an indoor courtyard and
building the structure around
the space.

Women’s Health Center
Design VIII
Concept: The concept for my health clinic was derived from the site itself as well as the
Igbo people of Nigeria. Everything seemed to have flow. This lead to the idea of creating a
structure that was not forced but rather had a seamless movement. In addition to the initial
idea, I also incorporated a sense of community and unity within the center similar to the
culture of the people that would utilize the facility.
Location: Igbo Land, Nigeria
Program:
Outpatient - Reception, Emergency room, Pharmacy, Lab, Exam Room
Disease Prevention and Treatment - HIV Teaching Area, Treatment
Childbirth - Maternity Ward, Birthing Room, C-Section Room, Infant Ward
Inpatient - Waiting Area, Children Ward, Radiology, Lab, Pharmacy
Public Space - Shower/Restroom, Kitchen
9. Schematic Design
1During the Schematic
Design phase, I used
my research of the physical
environment, the native people,
and medical facility function to
determine the layout.
The final design was ultimately
influenced most by the peoples
normal utilization of the land.

During the Programming
phase, I used my design skills
and creativity to figure out what

taste of the owners and solved
design dilemmas along the way.

constant contact with the
developer to ensure that the
finishes that were spec’d out
