02 Field note
How the room is composed
- layout
- A large ceremonial event hall occupies the building between commercial ground floors and the owner residence above, with a symmetrical stair and open dance floor.
- materials
- Reinforced concrete, mirror, aluminium, acrylic panels, polished tile, glass, and programmable lighting produce a durable shell with theatrical interior surfaces.
- furniture
- Banquet tables, high-backed chairs, perimeter bars, modular stages, and built-in booths remain secondary to the faceted ceiling and generous social floor.
- lighting
- Magenta, cyan, gold, and violet LEDs trace angular ceiling coffers and mirrored columns, balanced by high windows that reveal the hall’s geometry by day.
- decoration
- Large-scale faceted forms translate Andean and Tiwanaku references into contemporary abstraction through repetition, colour, reflection, and precise symmetry.
