Designing for the desert comes with its own set of challenges — and opportunities. For the Alpha Omicron Pi chapter at Arizona State, Studio Ten 25 was tasked with creating livable outdoor-inspired spaces that could handle Arizona’s heat while still feeling fresh, functional, and full of personality.

Inside, the large open floor plan needed to be as versatile as it was beautiful. Abbe focused on maximizing flexible seating and gathering areas that could seamlessly transition from chapter events to casual movie nights. Bold pops of pink, layered textures, and durable materials brought energy and style to the space, while holding up to daily life in Tempe.

A chic dining area was designed to double as a study space and casual hangout, giving the girls a stylish spot to gather, work, and connect. From sun-friendly materials to thoughtful, multifunctional layouts, this project is all about making the most of every inch — indoors and out.
