Final Project -- Pieces Hideout Corner I

The title of the final project is BIG PLACE, SMALL SPACE. We need to find our own site in GHK hall and find some problems to solve. The site we chose is a corner next to the elevator on fifth floor of GHK hall. The reason why we chose that corner as our site is because we found it is a semi-enclosed sapce with three walls. However, it was not fully used and it was a little waste of space.

After investigating the site, we finally decided to transfer this space into a study and resting space. The solution is making some 1:1 furnitures to set up the space. The furnitures are flexible that users can change them according to their own needs. We also think this space can have different functions during daytime and nitht. In the daytime, this space is more like a studying space. Because there are more nature light during daytime. And it will be more likely a resting space during night because there will be no light in this spcae at night.

Section

This is the section of the site. I tried to present the space and the dimension of the site. There is one intereting thing that there is one opened-surface in this site. It is faced with the mid hall of GHK hall. And people can see the interior of the space from the suspended bridge.
