Project Description
A space where sleep and contemplation coexist as acts of healing, designed for the restless minds of architecture students. The semi-open bedroom embraces nature, allowing gentle breezes and filtered daylight to soothe the senses. Beside it, a still-water lily pond creates a meditative edge for reflection, where ideas ripple into clarity. A quiet, elongated corridor guides visitors from the busy world into this intimate realm, symbolizing the passage from reality into dreams.
Here, rest is refuge and thought becomes therapy, fostering balance for creative minds. Layers of soft linen, cool stone, and warm timber invite touch, grounding the body in the present while allowing thoughts to drift. The scent of night jasmine mingles with the faint sound of water, crafting a sensory atmosphere that slows time. Above, the open sky shifts in color through the day, reminding visitors of life’s gentle rhythms and the value of pausing without guilt.
