Thank you, Elif Sude Altıntaş, for sharing this project, and congratulations on being part of INSPIRELI!

This proposal tackles a real and relatable problem for architecture students—the need for a dedicated, accessible space to work comfortably at any hour. Your approach to creating a fun, functional, and student-centered space is admirable and meaningful.

The visuals are playful and pleasing to the eye, which matches the youthful, energetic spirit of the project. There’s a nice rhythm to the way the spaces are presented, and the diagrams and boards reflect a thoughtful understanding of student needs.

The plans are executed well—they show clear zoning and intent, and it’s easy to understand how the different spaces relate to each other. The concept of a labyrinthine interior adds a unique experiential layer to the design, giving the space character and encouraging exploration.

The renders are good, especially in capturing the overall spatial mood. That said, it would be nice to see some realistic renders using real materials and textures—this would help viewers fully imagine what the space will look and feel like in reality. A few well-done, material-sensitive perspectives could make the experience more immersive and tangible.

This is a well-thought-out project that not only provides a creative architectural solution but also responds directly to the daily lives of its users. It’s both functionally smart and visually engaging. Well done!
