Liminal Trifecta
Liminal Trifecta began as an exploration of what happens in the spaces in-between, between movement and pause, structure and freedom, function and play. It grew from a simple frame into a system that adapts, transforms, and connects people through shared experience. The idea was to design something that could live anywhere. A structure that isn’t fixed, but travels, shifts, and reshapes itself depending on the needs of its users. We imagined a set of modules that could be benches, bleachers, swings, or shaded rooms, all built from the same language of frames, fabric, and connection. The design became a toolkit of experiences rather than a single building. The visual identity came from an unexpected source: an Hermès scarf. We were drawn to the way its folds change appearance depending on how it’s worn, how one pattern can become infinite through motion. That idea translated into movable fabric panels and X-shaped connectors that create changing enclosures. As light filters through the patterned roof or walls shift with a breeze, the space feels alive and never the same twice. The site acts as an open framework rather than a closed boundary. Edges invite movement, corners become informal meeting spots, and circulation flows through layers of activity ,from stalls and cafes to areas of rest and play. Every component works as part of a larger rhythm, adapting to whoever uses it and however it’s assembled. In the end, Liminal Trifecta is about flexibility and interaction. A structure that blurs the line between architecture and activity. It’s a space that responds instead of dictating, designed to move with its users and transform with its context.
