9. Ethereal Elephant
The boutique hotel was based on the “Louis Ghost Armchair”, by Philippe
Starck. He reinvented the classical Louis XVI armchair for his pop post
modern design. The hotels “classic meets modern” design originated
from the Baroque period, with subtle hints towards its native China. Its
unexpected delicate form aims to surprise the guests as they arrive for a
stay on Lake Calhoun, in Uptown Minneapolis.

CLIENT
The family of five are relocating their home
to “First Church of Christ” in Elliot Park,
Minneapolis. The husband and wife have been
married for 25 years and are both sharing the
same careers of furniture design. The husband
has a great interest in antiques while his wife’s
passion in furniture design will be of benefit in
their new business venture. They have three
boys, ages sixteen, seven, and five years old
that are in need for more space.
SITE ANALYSIS
The “first Christian Scientist Church” was
constructed in Minnesota, with great emphasis
placed on its architecture. It is located in a
residential area of Elliot Park. Architect S.J.
Bowler chose a small-scale design of the Doric
Order, which was believed to be the oldest,
simplest, and most adaptable form of Greek
architecture.
N FUTURE EXPANSION
OBJECTIVE
An adaptive reuse of the church is to be
remodeled for a space for a family of five. They
are interested in restoring the interior of the
church to its original colors with an interest in
previously used furniture and fixtures. A space
is needed for their new business venture in
furniture re-upholstery and design shop. Space
is also needed for the parents to entertain
clients and friends.

The Williamson family is remodeling their
1970’s rambler in Roseville, Minnesota,
to a place of exceptional value with
sustainable building materials. The family
of five will be looking for space for their
three kids.
The concept was developed from a few
key elements the Williamson family was
interested in. Their key interests were
gardening, watching the Minnesota
Timberwolves, and playing board games.
The Venus flytrap concept was chosen
because of its strategic ability to lure its
opponent in, similar to what a basketball
player does on the court, or a family

separate the main living
area into specific spaces.
The area was designed
with the attempt to lure
the family into this main
area. It was inspired by the
capturing of insects like the
Venus fly trap.

19. As the fly trap grows and
matures, it develops flowers
that release pollen which
produce a seed. This
space was designed off of
the flower and its distinct
characteristics.
