The boutique hotel project was a built structure along the PCH highway along the California coast. The concept was to be taken from a chosen city and its culture and history. Roca Hotel is found in Morro Bay California. The town influence came from adventure, the love of the outdoors, and the rock that brought settlers to the town originally. The hotels design influence is bringing the interior and the exterior together, fragmentation of the rock, and natural materials. 

This project asked students to define space within Architectural Hall that would provide a particular USER type to REVIVE, RELAX, and/or REFRESH. The project challenged students to analyze and define User, Program, and Context, and question their role in defining space. This proposal identified the 3rd floor of the Library as the site for faculty to retreat; A social zone to collaborate and a lounge nested in exposed trusses for a quiet retreat.
