Harmony House First Floor

    My Harmony House project will use a theme of”Peaks and Valleys” which has been adapted from the award winning novel Esperanza Rising By: Pam Munoz Ryan. In the novel, Esperanza is a young girl who experiences many hardships but learns to see that along with the valleys in life there are always peaks.

     This project will help the residents learn to recognize and appreciate the peaks in life and to persevere through the valleys. Part of this concept will also incorporate learning to see the grey that exists between the black and white experiences in everyone’s life.

     On the first floor, the sandwich shop will have a peaks and valleys theme on the walls and floor in shades of grey , white and black. It will also have some pops of bright blue (the most relaxing color).

     The resident entry of my Harmony House will be located in the back of the building as an attempt to get away from the busy city street located at the front.  The entrance will look like the front porch of an average American family home. This will emulate a feeling of home and family for the residents and guests of The Harmony House.
