Txog The Ripple Lub Hauj Lwm Tseem Ceeb: Tsev Saib Xyuas Tus Mob Kawg
The Ripple yog ib qho kev npaj tsev saib xyuas cov neeg mob ze kawg uas tau tsim los ntawm ib tug txheej txheem chaw concentric uas tshwm sim los ntawm ib lub tshav dej nyob hauv plawv. Nyob hauv Chinatown, New York City, qhov kev tsim qauv no rov txhais kev saib xyuas thaum kawg ntawm lub neej los ua ib qho kev paub txog hauv nroog rau pej xeem es tsis yog ib lub koom haum nyob kheej kheej. Cov txheej ntawm cov qhov rooj, cov tshav, thiab cov chaw kaw ntoo coj kev tsiv los ntawm lub neej pej xeem mus rau kev xav ntsiag to. Kev sib koom ua ke ntawm qhov pom kev hnub, dej, thiab cov tswv yim ib puag ncig passive tsim kom muaj kev nyob ntsiag to rau lub cev xav, txhawb kev ntiag tug, kev taw qhia, thiab kev xav zoo siab ntawm lub siab los ntawm cov qauv tsim vaj tsev nws tus kheej.

- Yam Tshwj Xeeb
- The Ripple reimagines hospice as an urban civic sanctuary structured by a concentric ripple geometry generated from a single water court. Architecture, structure, circulation, and environmental systems align within one continuous spatial logic, integrating hybrid timber construction, passive ventilation, and water reuse. The design transforms end-of-life care into a collective, sensory experience embedded within the life of the city.
- Qhov Loj & Ntim
- The project employs a hybrid timber system organized by concentric structural rings. Curved CLT load-bearing wall segments rise from a continuous concrete foundation datum, supporting stepped roof bands with integrated skylights, photovoltaic tiles, and rainwater collection gutters. Environmental systems include stacked passive ventilation, hydronic radiant floor slabs, and on-site water filtration and reuse.

- Thev Naus Laus Zis Tsim Khoom
- The project was developed through an integrated design methodology where geometry, structure, and environmental systems evolve from a single concentric datum. Digital modeling and iterative sectional studies guided spatial, daylight, and airflow performance. A hybrid timber system using curved CLT wall segments, cavity assemblies, and a continuous concrete base enables structural clarity while integrating rainwater collection, passive ventilation, and radiant conditioning within one coordinated assembly.
- Kev Sib Tw Tsim Qauv
- The primary challenge was reconciling hospice care’s need for privacy and calm with the density and intensity of an urban Chinatown context. Social perceptions of hospice as isolated institutions required rethinking care as civic and accessible. Spatially, integrating sensory comfort, acoustic privacy, and environmental performance within a compact site demanded precise coordination of structure, water systems, and daylight. The project resolves these tensions through a unified geometric and environmental strategy.
- Kev Tshawb Fawb
- Design research combining healthcare design and environmental psychology. Objective: improve patient privacy and emotional comfort in hospice settings. Methodology explored spatial sequencing and sensory design strategies. Experiential scenarios tested water sound as a non-visual privacy buffer.
- Kev Txhawb Siab
- The Ripple is inspired by the universal image of a water drop generating expanding rings, symbolizing the continuity of life, memory, and collective care. Research into hospice environments, sensory psychology, and traditional courtyard typologies informed a design that replaces institutional isolation with spatial calm, gradual thresholds, and communal presence, integrating cultural reflection with environmental performance.
- Lub Sij Hawm Ua Hauj Lwm
- The project was developed between September 2025 and Janurary 2026 as part of an architectural design competition. The Ripple is located in Chinatown, New York City, where it reimagines hospice care within a dense urban context. The proposal explores how end-of-life care can integrate with everyday civic life through architecture, landscape, and community-oriented programming.
- Txheej Txheem Ua Hauj Lwm
- Movement through Ripple follows expanding concentric rings, guiding visitors from the active city edge toward increasing quiet and intimacy. Thresholds, courtyards, and water elements choreograph gradual emotional transition rather than abrupt separation. Daylight, airflow, and acoustic water features respond passively to occupancy and climate, supporting orientation, privacy, and calm—allowing care to unfold through spatial experience rather than institutional control.
