‘By creating archetypal ‘togetherness settings,’ we aim to cultivate a warm and welcoming atmosphere, a common ground for social interactions.’

In the physical world, human interaction often starts with a moment of eye contact, a nod, or a simple ‘hello’, this set in motion Daphna Laurens design process. In ‘Hello’ Daphna Laurens seeks to transform public spaces into places that are inviting to meet each other. Small architectural structures that encourage spontaneous encounters. The design features a welcoming entrance arch, recognisable of residential architecture, and uses brick as the main building material to evoke a sense of ’typical’ and ‘universal’.
