Dreamscape is a branding project that expanded on The E-STEAM BUILDERS' project. The objective was to utilize the remaining building to build a hostel related to the "special program's" (The E-STEAM Builders) theme. My idea was to create a hostel that encourages and connects guests.

FIRST FLOOR PLAN
FORMING + ENCOURAGING CONNECTIONS
At entrance, you can immediately immerse yourself in these spaces, which include infinity spaces along the south facade, kaleidoscope room towards the east, and electronic croquet, located centrally (in which a fun fact would be displayed on the branding board at the architectural staircase after hitting a ball in the hole).
SECOND FLOOR PLAN
READY TO MINGLE
The second floor is a kid-free sleeping quarter. I designed pods for safety measures that also represent the progressive nature of STEAM. Brand colors and patterns carried through from the first floor are used as a way-finding tool and a way to connect spaces. Geometric poufs around the floor can be moved and serve as gathering zones where guests can easily connect with each other in a more intimate setting.
THIRD FLOOR PLAN
FAMILY DREAM
The third floor welcomes families with spaces full of entertainment and rooms that are designed to safely and comfortably sleep families. Specialty rooms offer pods which are beneficial to special needs as it acts as a small, quiet, and safe boundary
