The clients for this project were Helen Keller National Center for the Deaf-Blind. We were in charge of re-designing the dormitory lounge so that residents of the center can comfortably navigate the space without having their environment or disability hinder their communication and activities within this space. Wayfinding was the major pillar driving the design of this space and was implemented via tactile pegs along the travel route within the room and acoustic wall paneling so one can trace the perimeter wall with their hands for safe traveling.
