After consideration I decided to not go through with the two in the top right as after showing it to peers they said it looks like a toilet paper roll holder and that is not what I want a door handle being perceived.

This is my final decision on the door handle. I had decided on this design as it is quite simple and since it isn’t a key feature in my design it doesn’t need to be extravagant. The shape flows well with the walls I have created in the space.

Do Ho Suh has influenced my idea to create a sensory kind of room- making it more personal as his installation of ‘Home Within Home’ influenced the idea of having an individual attachment toward the space.

I am unable to make another version of the foyer in the site so I decided to think about the five senses as it’d be a way to connect to the site emotionally. I thought about which sense would be able to appreciate the site most and concluded with sight. Because of being stuck at home for a long period of time. There aren’t many spatial qualities within my home but what came and left often was shadows. Day by day it would visit and leave frequently. After observing it for a long time I have decided to make it one of the key features in the site.

I used silk thread as the foundation in hanging the beads as Do Ho Suh had used silk in his installation and I thought I could incorporate that material in my design. Also, the thinness of the material is great as it is not the feature I wanted to I had thought about using glass for the beads but they did not gibe the shadow reflection I had wanted. It was quite faint. So I had to use a more solid material. Silver beads were first thing that came to mind as it is very solid so the shadow casted will be strong.

I hadn’t used up the whole room as it the point of having the hanging beads were to cast shadows but the shadow is unable to hit the back of the room. So I had decided to keep the backing of the room empty as a dark space to observe the reflections and allow viewers to reflect on themselves too.
