NEWH National Competition Winner

 

Challenge: This project requires the designer to create seven experiences for a guest in a hostel.  The building, occupancy, and location is undetermined.  Everything should be designed sustainably.

 

Solution: The Cork Factory is an old warehouse in the Art District of Baltimore, MD.  It falls on the edge of an urban revival movement.  It is a youth hostel that encourages young travellers to explore and truly integrate themselves into the Baltimore community by participating in service projects such as community gardens and house renovations in a poverty-stricken area, directly Northeast of the hostel.  To the Southwest is the Art District, with a young, creative, rapidly developing community.  The location is excellent for public transportation, as well as easy walking distance to many local attractions.  This is a work in progress that will further develop into an urban development study.
