Counseling Space

Inspired by the serenity of underwater scenes, Studio Vapore set out to create a counseling space for elementary school children that mirrors the calm of the ocean depths.
The goal was to offer an environment that provides tranquility and safety to the children, even during turbulent times outside. The design features shades of blue and coral, using beautiful Kvadrat fabrics to emulate the ocean's calming essence. Wave patterns, sea creature graphics, and dimmed lighting further enhance this serene atmosphere. A tactile whale feature, crafted with different textures of fabric, adds a sensory experience, heightening the comforting nature of the space. This counseling area is thoughtfully divided into private and semi-private rooms. Each space is designed to be a peaceful sanctuary, using the ocean theme to create a nurturing and reassuring environment for young minds in search of comfort and support.

The design incorporates a warm palette of red, orange, and yellow, providing a dynamic and energizing backdrop for the music spaces. These color accents contrast beautifully against the more neutral tones of the classrooms, bringing a lively and inspiring atmosphere. Adjacent to each classroom are practice rooms, separated by sleek glass partitions. These rooms feature shades of red and are adorned with beautifully composed 3D acoustic tiles.

This design choice is not just aesthetically pleasing but alsoenhances the acoustic quality of the space, ensuring an optimal environment for music practice.

Every detail, including the light shades and blinds, coordinates with the chosen color scheme, further unifying the design theme. Studio Vapore's vision was to transform these classrooms into areas that not only foster learning but also simulate the experience of being in a professional music studio, sparking interest and enthusiasm in the students.

受水下景色的宁静启发,Studio Vapore着手为WAB小学创建一个咨询空间,以反映海洋深处的宁静。目标是在外部动荡时为孩子们提供宁静和安全的环境。 设计采用了蓝色和珊瑚色的色调,使用美丽的Kvadrat面料来模拟海洋的宁静本质。波浪图案、海洋生物图案和柔和的照明进一步增强了这种宁静的氛围。一个由不同质地的织物制成的触觉鲸鱼特色增加了感官体验,提高了空间的舒适性。 这个咨询区被周到地划分为私人和半私人房间。每个空间都被设计成一个宁静的避风港,利用海洋主题为寻求安慰和支持的年轻心灵创造了一个滋养和令人安心的环境。 设计融入了温暖的红色、橙色和黄色调色板,为音乐空间提供了充满活力和活力的背景。这些色彩点缀与教室更中性的色调形成了美丽的对比,营造出生动而鼓舞人心的氛围。每个教室旁边都有练习室,由光滑的玻璃隔断分隔开。这些房间采用红色调,并装饰有精美的三维声学瓷砖。这种设计选择不仅在审美上令人愉悦,还增强了空间的声学质量,确保了音乐练习的最佳环境。 每个细节,包括灯罩和百叶窗,都与所选的色彩方案协调一致,进一步统一了设计主题。Studio Vapore的愿景是将这些教室改造成不仅培养学习能力,还模拟专业音乐录音室体验的区域,激发学生的兴趣和热情
