Waiting Room

Waiting Room approaches waiting not as lost time, but as a quiet moment in between. At the center of the space, a large glass chandelier becomes the main focal point, reflecting light and casting subtle colors across the surfaces. As daylight changes, reflections shift and the atmosphere transforms throughout the day. The room encourages movement, observation, and awareness rather than long stays. Waiting is no longer lost time; it becomes a conscious interval. The design explores the tension between movement and stillness, presence and anticipation, shaping a simple function into a meaningful spatial experience.
