Canonical vision

We have three initial ideas for the vision of the space we want to express

The room with no walls
Everyone shows everything
From bubbles to room

Spatial organisation

There are three concepts of how the spaces are designed:

Different levels of floor define the room
Public does not mean they must see each other but feeling each other
Material affects people

Structural design

The building is constructed by both primary and secondary structures:

Primary structures: Load bearing wall, Stairs and elevators, and Floor slab
Secondary structures: Glass facade, I-beam, and Pipes

Grounding the dwelling

The site is located at Rama 3 Industrial ring road. I choose this area because the building focuses on hard workers and this area contains of business buildings and companies.
