PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The multifunctional space of the intermediate layer would provide hotel services. The base color of the whole room used a fashionable black, mending it with baked paint iron structure and interior lighting design to interpret this slightly raw, fashionable and themed space. Looking at its environment as a whole, steel structures cross connected with one another like the London Bridge, while large heart-moving poker cards float above our heads, suiting its business direction.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: To build up the spatial layers, the dining area was raised to a platform two steps above the ground. Moveable desks and chairs were installed so that the place can change quickly between the regular table for four or putting table together. At the same time, a dart arena was also installed to make it more entertaining.
CHALLENGE: As for the intermediate hotel area, the structure was designed as if being stacked like a beehive. The overall place uses foggy black and honey yellow colors, while supplementing it with dark yellow projection lights. Its interesting and unique design is that at the front of beds, viewing window that can be used to observe the whole first floor was installed. Whenone lies on the bed viewing downwards through the viewing window, they can see the space below, which resembles an urban miniature of streets and squares. It was a unique idea.
