The five-story building is created with a diversity of spaces and is strategically designed to optimize natural light during the day and be activated at night with special events. Planning the space with multifunctional purposes during the day and night creates opportunities to add vitality and interest. Film, as a form of new media art, is a profound means of human communication. No matter the genre: action, comedy or drama, films can bring pleasure to a very broad audience. The multi level cinema within the hostel provides a universally enjoyed experience to its visitors. Adding facilities like a café restaurant within the hostel benefits both locals and travelers; it encourages interaction between the two parties even more. The hostel becomes a community of its own through its occupants.

FLUEREHOUSE Marcel Breuer’s Stillman House I inspired the domestic influences in the space. The interior is where the possibilities reside. Space has infinite forms, but it’s boundaries that make space usable. Interstitial space enforces the interaction between other spaces like a palette cleanser between courses. The challenge is to deconstruct a simple bauhaus diagram and rebuild it into something that fascinates the user and leaves a unique impression. The key is to finder order in chaos.
