Cultural exploration

Spatial installation

Based on the understanding of german culture, develop an exhibition that displays and recreates.

"Feierabend!"

"Party Night !"

This German saying refers to the “celebration of the ended workday”, it reflects the general attitude to maintaining distinct separation between work and social life ,
and this will sneaks out in

workplace language.

Past/Present

Modern "Feierabend" is usually individualized, there is not a shared experience with co-workers

Blured Boundary between work and life

Lost Past Rituals

We are gradually losing the communal rituals of unwinding after work.

It's no longer the era when a siren marked the end of the day, and workers could leave with a ease and releif.

Miner's Culture

"FEIERABEND!" origionally applies to working class,thus the experiences are highly inspired by coal miner's routine, combining with traditional German "Feierabend" activities.

Ideation

Floorplan

Refinement

Industrial with Eclectic Warmth

The material selection includes metal gears, welded mesh, and structural metal tubes, contrasted by warm wooden plates that brings a sense of gathering, and a vibrant pop of bright yellow plastic that sparks attention and playfulness.

Tower Platform

A spot with a better view — perfect for grabbing a beer and unwinding together as the sun sets. A megaphone is provided, in case you have something to say.

"Kaue" storage

Guests can store their work belongings inside the "Kaue," just as miners once did — pulling them up to the ceiling and locking them away, as a symbolic gesture of letting go before entering the “machine” to unwind.

Stammtisch table

A giant Stammtisch sign — four times the normal size — humorously declares the table as “reserved,” reinforcing the feeling of a second home, but only for those who’ve actually reserved it.
