Third Elements

Game + Bar Lounges | Capsule Hotel

Many do not realize the myriad ways that gaming can enrich an individual's life. Before today's digital involvement in our lives, there was a negative stigma that was perceived on the individuals who enjoy video games and the community that grew from them. The stigma was that gamers were introverts and social interactions were nonexistent for those individuals. However, this is simply not true. The game community is a welcoming and supportive community because the games were large opportunities for social interactions.

I want Third Elements to become a space where the game community can flourish and thrive while also becoming a space for newcomers can come to interact with the game community and experiences something new.

Atmospheric Goals

Third Elements will be more than a community hub for individuals interested in games. This project will also aim to become an urban escape for adults who needs a break from their busy lives. In order to help create a space that helps reduce stress, I did research on recover experiences to better understand the affects of different experiences to help recover from stress. There are three main experiences that I wanted to provide in this project and they are relaxation, psychological detachment, and mastery of skills. Each experience helps an individual to overcome their stresses and let go of them.

For the atmospheric goals, I wanted to achieve a spatial experience that greets patrons with a sense of comfort. I also wanted the patrons to feel like a they have been transported into a fantasy like dream, a reverie, upon entering the lounge. Lastly, I want the space to become a helpful aid in mastering skills and experiences during the patrons stay.
