Fika: Hostel and Social Spa by Ella Kuehnert
“Fika is a Swedish social daily practice that means more than ‘to take a break’ – it’s a way of living.
“Fika: Hostel and Social Spa brings this healthy lifestyle to DC – it is inserted into the active Swedish emb،y at the Georgetown waterfront.
“This project focuses on combating the loneliness epidemic by integrating Nordic wellness rituals, such as social bathing and mandatory breaks, into American culture in order to foster a sense of belonging.
“These customs are also implemented spatially – the design cele،tes the immersive sensory experience of being submerged in water through the presence of wooden wraparound structures.”

Fifty-Fifty Market by Delaney Lindberg
“Fifty Fifty re-envisions the historic Union Market into a refreshed, spirited food hall.

The Scarlet at Union District by Abbie McGrann
“DC is one of the most vi،nt areas for young people to live in the US, and NoMa is one of the fastest-growing neighbour،ods in the nation.
“The concept for The Scarlet is centred around creating a ،e that caters to young up-and-coming individuals, offering a venue where they can dine, drink, enjoy live music and partake in games – an aspect currently lacking in the DC area.
“The concept behind the design seeks to evoke both ambiguity and familiarity within a ،e.
“Here, visitors can anti،te the overall experience, yet encounter unexpected design decisions, fostering a sense of mystery.”
