BetweenStates

I design interiors, installations and objects that hold the moment between one state and another — private and public, physical and digital, inside and out.

Bothie
Shelter.

A winter room for extreme cold, walked through at dusk. A 2:20 project film, cut with the project drawings and stills.

Watch the film
The Bothie Shelter at dusk, its roof and walls covered in snow, with warm light under the eaves.

03 / Practice

I start with
observation.

How does a room ask you to behave? Where do you pause, what do you hide, and what does the space let you become? I build spatial arguments around those questions — through drawing, model-making and narrative.

I am Sylvia (Wang Yutianran), a spatial designer from HBU–UCLan’s School of Media and Creative Industries.

About the practice
Design is not only the object in the room. It is the room’s permission to behave differently.
