"The Zephyr Room"

with the wonderful help from Breath Sesh @breathseshh

‘The Zephyr Room’ is an university capstone group project, an immersive space that will encourage users to engage in purposeful breathing. The experience will be narrated by a professional breath coach who will teach participants several techniques that have been proven to reduce stress and anxiety. Animated projections and sound will all be considered to aid in creating a safe and calming space where people can fully focus on their breath. Our aim is for people to leave the experience with a sense of direction and clarity on how they can integrate breathwork into their everyday lives.

Sketches

Based on our research, we quickly formulated our initial concept for the spatial design. In our initial vision, the audience would be lying down in a comfortable position for this experience. Taking inspiration from the ‘Room to Breathe’ project, we decided to position our projections on three side walls and the ceiling.

Using the real-world dimensions of a yoga mat as a reference, we created a space to accommodate up to 15 people in the main projection room. Projectors will be positioned on the opposite sides of each wall and hang in the middle of from the ceiling for the front wall projection. People are 1.5m away from projection wall.
