SIM-PLEX COMPOSES ADAPTABLE MEDITATION DUPLEX LIVING SPACE The Meditation Duplex by Sim-Plex explores the integration of meditation spaces within compact urban LIVING in HONG KONG.


Addressing the desire for tranquility amidst hectic urban life, the project utilizes a transformable electric staircase and a detachable, expandable platform to create a flexible living and


meditation space. The design accommodates various scenarios, allowing for a seamless transition between living and meditation modes. The concept particularly focuses on optimizing space and


circulation in micro-unit living, often prevalent in densely populated areas. The clients, a young couple with specific lifestyle needs, influenced the project’s direction. Notably, the


utilization of high ceilings for creating spacious areas and maintaining privacy became a central design consideration. all images courtesy of Patrick Lam GREEN PLANTS AND ECO-FRIENDLY
