Madrone, Madrona, or Arbutus?

The common name of the tree Arbutus menziesii depends on where you are or where you are from.

North American members of the genus are called Madrones, from the Spanish name madroño (strawberry tree) although this terminology is not used in Canada. The European species are also called Strawberry Trees from the superficial resemblance of the fruit to a strawbrry; some species are sometimes referred to simply as the “Arbutus”.

In the United States, the name “Madrone” is used south of the Siskiyou Mountains of southern Oregon/northern California and the name “Madrona” is used north of the Siskiyou Mountains according to the “Sunset Western Garden Book”. In British Columbia, the trees are simply known by the name “Arbutus.”

All refer to the same tree, Arbutus menziesii, native to the Pacific Northwest and Northern California regions. It is Canada’s only native broadleaved evergreen tree. Some species in the genera Epigaea, Arctostaphylos and Gaultheria were formerly classified in Arbutus. As a result of its past classification, Epigaea repens (Mayflower) has an alternative common name of “trailing arbutus”.”

(The original source of this on Wikipedia seems to have vanished so I’m cross-posting from an article from Washington State University.)

Blog Post #7 - Rationale Roughs

The Calgary Stampede Event Poster

Print Design

The Calgary Stampede, a 10-day iconic event in Alberta, known as "The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth," celebrates western rodeo culture and attracts global visitors. The challenge was to create a poster capturing the event's spirit. The design draws inspiration from rodeo events and cultural experiences, featuring a bold colour palette symbolizing Alberta's blue flag, Canada’s red maple leaf, and the golden yellow wheat fields of the prairies. Iconic symbols like cowboy boots and horseshoes convey the essence of the stampede, while a minimal, high-impact design inspired by vintage beer cans and postage stamps adds a touch of tradition and heritage.

Nude - Fragrance For All Packaging Design

Packaging Design

NUDE is a unisex fragrance line embodying inclusivity, diversity, quality, and sustainability with a cruelty-free ethos. Challenges included appealing to both genders while maintaining a balance between affordability and a high-end feel. I opted for recyclable glass bottles with wooden lids, ensuring a sustainable vessel. The 2-piece box, featuring an outer recycled cardstock and a coloured inner portion, enhances the product's eco-friendly appeal. Each coloured box represents a unique scent with corresponding icons, facilitating easy differentiation. The final result is a high-quality product, with the organic texture of the wooden lids and recycled cardstock conveying sustainability, while the bold colours and icons contribute to a distinctive aesthetic. The 2-piece box enhances the consumer experience, requiring engagement with both the product and its thoughtfully designed packaging.

3. Madrona Imaging

Branding and Print Design

Madrona Imaging, situated in Nanaimo, BC, is a health clinic providing x-ray, ultrasound, and mammography services. The challenge was to craft a distinct brand identity aligning with their core values of integrity and precision, setting them apart from other healthcare providers. The logo features a sleek, squared sans-serif typeface alongside an abstract brand symbol. One half represents a Madrona tree, while the inverted half symbolizes a commitment to transparency and integrity in healthcare.

The color palette comprises Ocean Teal, blending the calming essence of blue with the invigorating qualities of green, signifying clarity and renewal. Electric Lime exudes liveliness, and Crisp White provides a clean and professional grounding. Integrating these elements into the clinic's interior was essential not only to distinguish Madrona Imaging within the healthcare sector but also to demonstrate their commitment to prioritizing patients' well-being. The curated interior space reflects a professional, modern, and inviting atmosphere.

Surly Crab Beach House in Seabeck

Design: Eerkes Architects

Location: Hood Canal, Seabeck, Washington, USA

Surly Crab, WA

Surly Crab is a modern beach house located on Hood Canal in Washington state. Views to the west take in the waterway and the Olympic Mountains. Inland from the home is a lush forest with ferns, native rhododendrons, madrona, and fir trees.

Envisioned as a retreat where friends can gather and admire this particularly rich natural landscape, Surly Crab rests on the shoreline and rises into the trees offering both big view moments of the mountains and Hood Canal, and smaller scale, often missed delights.

The house is partitioned into three structures. The two-story main living area adjacent to the beach is located on the footprint of an old fishing cabin. Further back, the guest wing and primary bedroom wing are elevated and hug the edge of the forest. Glazed hallways connect the structures and open to views both near and far, while transitioning from one part of the home to the other.

By separating the program into three structures, the configuration results in a variety of relationships between the architecture and the surrounding landscape.
