Speed Dating:

The Sims Edition

OPENNESS

PLAYFULNESS

HONESTY

Speed Dating: The Sims Edition is set in an elegantly designed concrete and glass architectural masterpiece with a sunken front yard. Here, an open air communal dining table hosts a group of young singles, offering them the perfect opportunity to take a chance and engage in conversation. On the second level, there’s the intimate glass room that provides a more exclusive and intimate experience for those who found their soulmate.

#OG

The inspiration of this project - an early work featuring an eatery created around the idea of “speed dating”. The two parties enter the space from two ramps and intersect spatially at different elevation. As they travel further, they enter the space and meet at the same elevation. It plays with the idea of “missing” someone initially - as important and meaningful as the act of “meeting”.

#SPEEDDATING

The view from the interior of the eatery - the long communal dining table allows for people rotating and meeting new people.

An initial study of the view sheds on site based on existing windows and openings of the surrounding warehouses. Where’s the most visible area on site and where’s the least?

This study drops tables on the site and study the view sheds of the two parties. It provokes the understanding of while both parties are involved in the “same experience”, its never the same. We bring our own history and perspective to any event and have drastically different emotional experience and spatial experience.

Overlaying the visibility on-site and opposite view sheds. This decided the location of where the parties initially “miss” and where they meet.
