The most compelling feature upon entering the basement is the #Playpod. The 100 sq.ft structure is both playful and practical. It functions as a hideaway for the family's young children who use their imagination to transform the space into everything from an ice cream truck to a space ship.

The objective of this space is to return a person to a current moment. Once in a studio, the guests forget they’re in the heart of the metropolitan city. They leave their thoughts of the past and the future and enjoy the moment. They have precious time for self-care.
