1) Gradient Logic
| Zone | Hue Saturation | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Lower | Pale blues | Compensate low light |
| Middle | Medium tones | Transition balance |
| Upper | Deep cobalt | Diffuse strong top light |
2) Ergonomics
Curves guide natural movement; absence of harsh corners lowers collision & visual tension.
3) Ventilation
| Element | Function | Insight |
|---|---|---|
| Adjustable panels | Airflow modulation | Graduated opening widths |
| Transoms | Cross-ventilation | Privacy + circulation |
| Central void | Stack effect | Warm air exhaust channel |
4) Material Synergy
| Material | Sensory Role | Sustainability |
|---|---|---|
| Wood | Warm tactility | Local sourcing |
| Undulating glass | Diffused light | Passive luminous shaping |
| Ceramics | Reflective chroma | Durable hygiene |
Bottom Line
Interior fuses light equalization, breathable ventilation & human-centered curvature—comfort as integral design layer.
