Design Challenge

Given the location of the project in the downtown area surrounded by lights on commercial streets, we pourposely designed a low-key and special box to provide a home-like station for those who work along the busy streets.
It is a warm light on the street, sharing the care from the city. It becomes the cultural identity of a city home, quietly waiting in the city center for the next passerby who needs shelter from the wind and rain.

Research

The life in a city is usually fast-paced and self-enclosed. The designer hopes to create a temporary homelike lounge in the city through a lighting box with warmth. It looks like an object from outer space, floating on the ground, and supported by a large scale, suspended steel structure. It is a homelike shelter provides solace to anyone in need.
