The 'Zephyr Room' is a university capstone project that will encourage users to learn purposeful breathing. We collaborate with a professional breath coach - Julia (from Breath Sesh), as a narrator who will teach participants several techniques proven to reduce stress and anxiety. Our goal is for people to leave the experience with a clear understanding of how to incorporate breathwork into their daily lives, ultimately relieving anxiety and stress while enhancing society's mental well-being.


To achieve this, we've designed a public experience within a space featuring animated projections on three walls, accompanied by ambient soundtrack comes in headphone. This setup creates a calming and secure environment, allowing participants to focus inward and enhance the effects of breathwork. Additionally, we've developed a cohesive branding visual system to tie the entire experience together.

Process Development

To make sure the dimension is align with real world, we use yoga mat as the reference to develop a floor plan.

After few experiments, our team designed a space that can fit at least 12 people, while taking into consideration the projection resolution and distance. Below are 3D mockups illustrating our concept environment.

Main Sequence

Follow the link to access the
14-minute main sequence animation we created as the projection on the wall.


We developed the animation and different colour palettes according to various stages and the pace of the breath practice.


A dark colour palette creates a low-light ambience that encourages inward focus, while bright colours help participants prepare for the ready stage (whether session's start or end).
