 Once the micro-break capsule was chosen as our final concept, we moved into a Design Thinking phase to explore its phisical form. To do this, we developed five quick sketches, each representing a different approach to how the capsule could look and function. These initial ideas, shown in Figure {{ref>fig:whatsapp_image_2026-03-25_at_17.30.52}}, allowed us to visualize various layouts and user experiences. Once the micro-break capsule was chosen as our final concept, we moved into a Design Thinking phase to explore its phisical form.

-=== Structure === 
  
-The skeletal framework of Bloem draws deep inspiration from traditional Japanese joinery, a caftsmanship philosophy that prioritizes the assembly of wooden structures without the use of nails, screws, or industrial adhesives. By relying on interlocking joints, the structure benefits from a superior level of durability and flexibility. Unlike rigid mechanical fasteners that can weaken wood over time, these traditional techniques allow the material to expand and contract naturally, ensuring a long-lasting structural integrity. As seen in figure {{ref>fig:structural_drawings}} the structural drawings, the capsule is built around a series of vertical wooden ribs that converge at a central ring. This "puzzle like" assembly that is both an engineering feat and a warm, organic alternative to industrial frames.+== Structure ==

 This structural choice is also fundamental commitment to sustainability and circular design. By eliminating metal fasteners and chemical adhesives, the capsule becomes a mono-material system that is significantly easier to disassemble and recycle at the end of its life cycle. This design ensures that each wooden component can be individually repaired or repurposed without damaging the rest of the frame, drastically reducing the project's carbon footprint. Ultimatelly, by merging ancestral assembly techniques with modern professional needs, the structure of Bloem stands as a durable, low-impact solution that respects both natural resources and high-quality craftmanship. This structural choice is also fundamental commitment to sustainability and circular design.

-Add and explain thoroughly the: +== Materials == 
-(//i//) initial structural drafts; + 
-(//ii//) material selection; +The choice of materials for Bloem is a tribute to Portuguese industruial heritage, prioritizing "kilometer 0" sourcing and high-performance sustanaibility. By utilizing local resources like cork and hemp, the project not only supports regional craftmanship but also achieves superior acoustic insulation through natural, breathable materials. 
-(//iii//) detailed drawings; + 
-(//iv//) 3D model with load and stress analysis; +Theinterior is lined with cork tiles. Beyond the warm and organic aesthetic , these tiles provide excellent sound absorption, creating a soft, quiet atmosphere that is essential for meditation and rest. Following the layering system shown in the technical sketches, the exterior of the wooden frame is reinforced with hemp blocks. Known for their exceptional thermal and sound-proofing properties, these blocks act as a dense acoustic barrier, shielding the user from the high-frecuency noise of a busy office. 
-(//v//) colour palette.+ 
 +While the hemp blocks provide soundproofing, their raw appearance is elegantly concealed by an outer skin that defines the capsule's botanical silhouette. We are currently exploring sustainable fabrics and natural fibers for this decorative layer, seeking a material that is both durable and tactile. This outer shell will mimic the soft, overlapping curves of flower petals, ensuring that the capsule remains a beatufil piece of biophilic design while hiding the complex technical layers of insulation underneath. This combination of traditional materials and smart layering ensures that Bloem is as effective as it is respectful of the environment. 
 + 
 +== Structure == 
 + 
 +The structural drawings of Bloem illustrate a highly engineered system designed to balance formal elegance with technical performance. The assembly is built around a primary wooden skeleton, as detailed in Figure {{ref>fig:structural_drawings}}, wich utilizes a central compression ring to secure the vertical ribs. This radial configuration allows for a self-supporting dome structure that maximizes internal volume while maintaining a compact footprint within the office environment. By relying on traditional joinery as shown in the components of Figure {{ref>fig:structural_drawings}}, the frame remains flexible yet stable without the need for mechanical fasteners.  
 + 
 +A key focus of the technical development is the multi-layered wall system shown in the details of Figure {{ref>fig:ilustracion_sin_titulo_4.jpg}}. The capsule's shell is composed of several functional layers designed for total acoustic isolation: 
 + 
 +- Interior Skin: Aesthetic cork tiles for immediate sound absorption and tactile warmth. 
 +- Insulation Layer: High-density hemp blocks that serve as a dense acoustic barrier. 
 +- Outer Finish: A flexible decorative skin, currently in development, which gives the capsule its distinctive petal-like texture. 
 + 
 +Furthermore, Figure {{ref>fig:ilustracion_sin_titulo_4.jpg}} specifies a dual-door system and integrated "transpiration holes" in the wood panels to facilitate natural Air Flow. By placing openings on opposite sides, the design promotes passive ventilation, ensuring a constant supply of fresh air without compromising the soundproof integrity of the space. The synergy of these technical details demonstrates a design that is as functional as it is visually inspiring.

 +== 3D model with load and stress analysis == 
 + 
 +The 3D modeling and structural stress analysis are scheduled for the next phase of the project's technical development. This stage will involve a digital simulation to verify how the interlocking wooden structure (Figure {{ref>fig:structural_drawings}}) supports the weight of the hemp and cork insulation layers. By postponing the deep stress testing until the final geometry and materials are fully defined, the analysis can provide more accurate data on the capsule’s durability and safety. This future step will ensure that the organic form is structurally sound and ready for professional manufacturing. 
 + 
 +==Color palette == 
 + 
 +The color identity of Bloem has been meticulously curated to foster a state of physiological and mental calm. The palette is composed of desaturated, nature-inspired tones that balance professional elegance with organic tranquility as shoun in the Figure {{ref>fig:branding.png}}. 
 + 
 +The strategic application of the palette is divided into three functional areas: 
 + 
 +- Exterior Surfaces: The shades Plaster (off-white) and Mist (pale blue) are used for the capsule's outer shell. These tones allow the large structure to remain visually light and blend seamlessly into modern office environments without becoming a distraction. 
 + 
 +- Interior Environment: The interior utilizes Moss and Eucalyptus greens. These shades are scientifically associated with stress reduction and focus. By surrounding the user with these deeper botanical tones, the capsule creates a "cocoon" effect that psychologically distances the user from the bright, high-pressure office atmosphere. 
 + 
 +- Contrast and Accents: The shade Soot (deep charcoal) is used for structural details, hardware, and typography. This tone provides the necessary professional weight and high-end finish, ensuring that Bloem is perceived as a sophisticated tool for corporate wellness.
  
 +The synergy of this palette ensures that every touchpoint reinforces the brand's promise: providing a quiet, restorative space where users can truly "bloom."

 +The power budget analysis shows that the system has an estimated total power consumption of approximately 45 W, where the RGB LED strip constitutes the primary load. In comparison, the ESP32 and connected sensors contribute only a minor portion of the overall consumption, while losses in the voltage regulation stage are relatively small but included in the calculation.
 +Based on this analysis, the system requires a 12 V power supply capable of delivering at least 3.8 A. To ensure stable operation under varying load conditions, a safety margin should be applied. Therefore, a power supply in the range of 5–6 A (60–72 W) is recommended.

 +The software component of the Bloem project is responsible for enabling the interaction between the user and the capsule environment. It consists of a mobile application installed on a tablet and an embedded control system running on a microcontroller. Together, these elements allow the user to book sessions, control environmental settings, and experience a guided relaxation process. 
 + 
 +The tablet application acts as the main interface between the user and the system. It is designed with a calm and minimal user interface, using simple navigation, large touch elements, and soft visual feedback to align with the relaxing purpose of the capsule. The application allows users to quickly book a session, select a time slot, and adjust lighting and sound settings without unnecessary complexity.

-(//iii//) 3D model with load and stress analysis, if applicable.+Each component is nested within custom-molded pulp inserts that secure the cork tiles and hemp blocks, while the exterior of the crate serves as both a technical manual and a brand statement. Using monochromatic, eco-friendly inks, the surface displays the assembly hierarchy and the structural logic of the project, providing immediate visual guidance for the professional installation team. Centered prominently on the main face of the packaging is the brand’s core promise: "Space to breathe, room to bloom." This serves as the final touchpoint of the delivery process, signaling that once the industrial protection is removed, what remains is a sanctuary designed for professional clarity and personal growth.
