Harmony House

     The Harmony House is a design project and competition sponsored by The Bienenstock Furniture Library. For this project, the client is a youth shelter called The Harmony House located in Seattle Washington. The shelter will target runaways aged 10-17. The facility will be a healing and rehabilitating environment whose goals are to provide security and stability to the residents both by providing social services and by offering an inspiring environment through the design of the space.

     The first floor of The Harmony House will house a sandwich shop where the residents will agree to work throughout their stay at the Harmony House. This experience will help to provide them with some work and business skills.

     The second floor will consist of six resident rooms with a common room for socialization, peer interaction and recreation. The common room will help provide a family atmosphere to the residents as part of their healing and rehabilitation.
