The Design Den

According to orygen, one in four university students will experience mental ill-health throughout their studies (Orygen, 2017). Mental health and well-being are any important part of the success of university students studies and outcomes. The Design Den located at the Queensland College of art and design on Level 2 or the Webb centre, is a study space designed for students by students. Through stakeholder interviews and site analysis, I understood that students wanted more individual and some group study spaces, access to the kitchen, areas to display their work and more cohesive within aesthetics of the fit out. The room uses biophilic elements such as green tones, natural textures, curved flow elements and natural lighting to benefit our well-being due to the calming effects of nature. The space is not only visually appealing but extremely accessibility due to considering the Australian Standards AS1428.1 and AS1428.2 access for mobility throughout the space. The space considers how those with disability cannot use a space as effectively as those without one. The space has alternative joinery for wheelchair uses to feel include in the space. Designed to improve our well-being to encourage a more positive and stress-free experience on campus.
