Major Project
Beauty and the Beast: Re-telling Social Communications in Shared Spaces
Interior Designer

The project explores narrative as inspiration for architectural design. It takes "Beauty and the Beast" as its starting point and transposes the story into architectural language. The changing nature of the protagonists' relationship inspired the development of an interior spatial structure "the movable living unit". The relationship between Beauty and the Beast mirrors tensions common to the lives of people sharing a living space. The units rotate to provide four levels of social interaction: communication, co-existance, co-operation and privacy. The flexible units enable inhabitants to express their feelings and adapt their personal living space to suit their needs within a shared architectural space.
