The brief was to design a 3mx3m enclosure where teenagers can spend their quarantine.

The design is a testament to the minimalist culture’s focus where nothing is added for effect. It thrives on the beauty of the forms and the materials used to create the forms. Emphasis is done on the creation of a space using natural light, materials and negative space to allow energy to flow through it.

In the age of growing blurred gender non-conformity, gender neutral design parameters are used that allow the teenagers to choose and express their individual preferences. The use of a gender-neutral design strategy is done to ensure that the design enables equitable use by emphasizing the function of space, banishing any hints of being biased towards a particular gender. This is done through the use of a calming colour palette, geometry, curves, texture and a seamless form to create a poignant sense of clarity and freedom. 

Bare essential furnishings keep this living space from feeling cramped or cluttered letting the beauty of its white elements reflect and bounce the natural light. While white and neutrals dominate the design, brilliant colors sparingly used can be found.

Aimed aesthetics

A tight edit, a concise color palette and paired down silhouettes create a layered, warm, rich, and inviting space with a gallery-like setting as this is, after all, a place of comfort and refuge.
