Week 4

image_pdfimage_print

In week 4, multiple changes were made to the plan for making it more accessible and characteristic. The old wall that is holding the TV screen is now being removed, as this wall actually sacrificed the overall atmosphere for only one furniture. In consideration of the lack of the key item of the film (the piano), the space that i got from removing the wall is being used to place a piano set. The place that it is located will make it the first thing that the user sees when entering the room, giving the user a clear sense of the musical theme of the film. As the wall is now removed, the entire bedroom area is an open space, and can now be separated by the curtains with no impede, making the bedroom area more like a stage. Also, because of the piano set is protruding from the bedroom area, this feature can cooperate with the separation curtains to make the accessing experience more immersing.

Due to the changes in the bedroom area, some details were also improved. Firstly, the bedroom floor is now in the same level with the hallway floor. In order to highlight the stage-like bedroom, the floor in that area was lifted up in the previous plans. But in consideration of making it accessible for all groups, the steps are now removed for wheelchair users. Secondly, a projector is added as a replacement of the TV. As this device can be fixed on to the ceiling, this solved the old TV fixing issue, providing the user an alternative way to watch digital medias.

The edited room plan

In order to making the space more stunning, some decorations were also added to the plan. Now not only the bedroom area has curtains for separation, the hallway walls are also being decorated with curtains. This makes the space more unified, and enhanced the feeling that whoever is passing the hallway is entering a stage. The hallway curtains are also being used to hide the floor light behind it, so that these atmosphere boosting lights can blend with the surroundings. Besides of the curtains, painting and lighting were also added into the bedroom area, filling the blank white wall with more colour.
