Home for the Blind
Home for the Blind
How can we make this dark mirror residence a clear lighthouse in the blind world through touch and sound?
For people with good vision, this is just an interesting mirror room with strange optical illusions.
Design Idea
This project aims to give blind people an advantage over sighted individuals in this house through touch and hearing. We have particularly designed the kitchen to allow blind individuals to cook freely.

I designed different floor material to indicate different living areas so that the visual impairs could easily distinguish the space.
