Design Concept
Facing the challenge of a narrow structure with a 2.2-meter ceiling height and a 5-meter width for seating and circulation, we turned these constraints into the foundation of our design process.
Our vision was to diminish the perceived limitations by incorporating visually captivating elements. We leveraged the dynamic use of color and repetitive materials to engage and delight the senses. By designing a circular platform, we crafted a four-dimensional experience where the starting point gracefully becomes the destination.
As visitors navigate through the space, they may traverse significant distances yet find themselves right where they began. This intriguing phenomenon is achieved through the repetitive use of materials on feature walls and the introduction of unique carpets on two opposing walls. These carpets feature similar yet distinct patterns, captivating visitors and blurring their sense of distance throughout their journey.
Our design aims to infuse vitality into the space, drawing inspiration from the mesmerizing ebb and flow of tidal waters along a tranquil seashore. This creates an inviting atmosphere where the journey itself becomes an enchanting experience.
