Sleeping Platform Exploration and Development

After looking into Material Creatives – Lumino the dentists downtown space I really became intrigued by the curves. So going off on a complete tangent I decided to play with this idea. Using corrugated cardboard I made a quick model to explore its properties. Not sure at this stage what full scale material this would correlate to, I am thinking perforated wood could possibly work.

This sparked my interest, and I asked myself the question, how could I make this form into an inhabitable space. Intrigued decided to make another quick model, this time creating and curved platform/outline for the corrugated card to bend around. (Below are several images)

This was definitely a step in the right direction and I was very pleased with the outcome. The continuations curve suggests and deeper feeling of space. I can imagine the dip being some sort of sunken sleeping space for one stranger and the risen another possible space. I really like the undulating surface that the corrugated card creates.

One idea I do have that could be interesting is to mirror another curved form above, creating a more defined space. I want to further explore this in more future development.
