Multi-Sensory Spatial Experience

Krismely Gross

Summary
Final work

I’m a design student interested in how spaces can affect how people feel, move, and connect. My approach focuses on creating environments that are both thoughtful and emotionally engaging. I enjoy working hands-on, experimenting with materials like wood, and combining model-making with digital visualisation. My projects often explore sensory experiences, nature, and public interaction, aiming to design inclusive, calming, and meaningful spaces.

This project explores how architecture can activate the senses to create immersive, healing environments. My final design is a biomimicry-inspired pavilion made up of four cylindrical rooms, each themed around a natural element—water, wind, sand, and forest. These spaces are designed to engage users through sensory features such as texture, sound, scent, temperature, and filtered light, promoting calmness, curiosity, and connection with nature. Built at a 1:350 scale from wood, the model demonstrates the flat-roofed structures with circular doors and top windows to subtly control light and atmosphere. Designed for a park setting, the pavilion offers a space for mindfulness, rest, and sensory exploration, particularly supporting workers, young people and community users. The project responds to urban stress by proposing architecture as a form of natural therapy.
