_relaxation space: development of meeting place 'outside meets inside'











_relaxation spaces: understanding

this is my last space i have designed, and is intended to be the most in depth in regards to the idea. it is based around the meeting of outside comforts in an inside environment. i have done some mind mapping and research into what the difference between outside and inside is, and have decided that outside is uncontrollable especially with regards to the elements, whereas inside is a much more controllable space. but people often find comfort and relaxation in various parts of the 'outside experience' such as the sound of the wind howling, rain on the roof, smell of the flowers, sight of the ocean, and touch of the forest floor. through my design i have taken the 4 senses of touch, see, hear and feel and dedicated a space each for them. users are able to relax in these simple spaces at their control.
