FINAL PROJECT kris smith_HOSTEL OF SHARED ARTS

the hostel caters to a community of artists and makers who want to connect with the local street-based culture of performers and crafts people. a generous set-back from the schaeffer hotel provides a space connecting two streets and an entry to the hostel. it holds a series of stepped platforms for outdoor events and workshops to be observed from a large balcony on an upper level. a more secluded second floor terrace on the opposite side of the building serves the hostel guests. balconies and the delicate lacework of the screen facade are subtle references to french quarter typologies.
