Dream Catcher
Dream Catcher The idea for the design concept started from the “people” and their “dreams”. San Francisco has been a dreamer’s city; 49ers came to San Francisco looking for fortunes, Chinese immigrants settled in San Francisco with dreams for better lives, rich men envisioned building worthy of San Francisco, and etc. The Gold Rush, immigrant population, and Victorian styled houses are all integral contributions that created San Francisco’s unique culture, and this unique culture was mainly developed by humans’ dreams. Based on these historical backgrounds, the concept of Touchdown Lounge is “Dream Catcher”, for people who work to catch their dream. The primary occupants of this space would be the business travelers. Although each of them has different purpose of travelling and usage of Touchdown Lounge, they are all working hard to reach their goals and achieve their dreams. The structural design of the space is inspired by dreamcatcher. Since positive dreams come through the center of the dreamcatcher, the Touchdown Lounge has its main space in the center, which is the relaxing area. The curvy partitions and the walls direct the circulation, so people would be lead into the main area just like the dreamcatcher does. The soft and gentle movement of dreamcatcher is expressed through curvy structure and light and soft colored materials. This Touchdown Lounge is designed to give the sense of a room where travelers can be comfortable and relaxed so they could keep going through their journeys and eventually make their dreams come true.
