Meditation Hall – Green Valley Factory Site
Location: Benxi, China
Type: Spiritual / Cultural Interior Architecture
Client: Green Valley Chairman
Capacity: 500 Persons
Role: Interior Architect (Collaborated with Christopher)
Scope: Interior Design – Lighting, Acoustics, Materials, Functionality
Commissioned by the Chairman of Green Valley for his private factory campus, this Meditation Hall was envisioned as a calming and contemplative space grounded in Buddhist philosophy and Chinese architectural principles.
Collaborating with Christopher, I explored various design pathways — combining modern acoustics with traditional spirituality — to create an atmosphere of stillness, clarity, and flexible utility for the hall’s multiple functions.

Design Focus
Spatial and Acoustic Harmony:
Conducted analysis of ceiling geometry, wall treatments, and material combinations to enhance natural reverb control and sound absorption in a large-volume interior
Material Experimentation:
Used translucent and acoustical materials to maintain softness and lightness
Studied light behavior and ambient effects to align with meditative quality
Multi-Use Functionality:
Designed variable interior layouts to support silent meditation, group gatherings, and lectures
Integrated modular podium and furniture layouts for dynamic spatial needs
My Contributions
Led interior spatial and lighting analysis
Proposed design options responding to both acoustical and spiritual needs
Delivered multiple visual schemes for adaptable use cases
Coordinated ceiling, wall paneling, and furniture layouts for flow and quietude
Developed cultural design language aligned with Buddhist ritual aesthetics
Results & Takeaway
This project helped me deepen my understanding of how interior architecture can influence mindfulness, comfort, and focus. I learned to translate abstract philosophies into tangible spatial strategies — a lesson I carry into every design challenge
