A wall panel is a piece of material that is commonly flat and used on walls in an exposed and visible manner. Wall panels are used for different purposes whether it being for visual design purposes or insulation and soundproofing. Although there are no specific sizes for panels it is often suggested for it to be 24 inches by 8 feet in order for a singular panel to be easily moved and transported. The FM studio soundbox is heavily soundproofed and insulated allowing recording sessions to be carried out inside while other music is being played for the rest of the BELOWGROUND retail area.

A floor plan is a drawing to scale of the relationships between rooms, spaces, traffic patterns, and other physical features at one level of a structure. Dimensions are usually drawn between the walls to specify room sizes and wall lengths. Floor plans may also include details of fixtures like sinks, water heaters, furnaces, etc. A detailed floor plan may also include notes for construction to specify finishes, construction methods, or symbols for electrical items.
BELOWGROUND was designed to have a floor plan where every stall or store would be hard to miss. Designed like a street, it is spacious yet compact with a path for you to walk along and check out the different spots that are operating.

A wheel is a circular object used to carry or move an object from point A to B. It has been used for thousands of years. It has helped our ancestors to travel and create some of the most historical monuments we see today. In modern times, wheels are usually padded with a rubber substance creating a tire which we see on cars, planes, and wheelchairs. Wheels have also helped bring certain sports to life like skateboarding and rollerblading. Due to wheels not being able to go upstairs things like elevators, ramps and slopes are relied on by wheels to get up and down a certain obstacle. There will be a ramp present which will be situated at the Awake store. The ramp is a nod to skate culture which was one of the driving forces in Hong Kong’s introduction to street fashion.

A technician is a worker in a field of technology who is proficient in the relevant skill and technique, with a relatively practical understanding of the theoretical principles. Technicians are vital in putting a project together especially when dealing with machinery and electrical systems. There has been a shortage of technicians in the world which has led to campaigns to encourage businesses and organizations to promote the role of a technician. A lot of details were put into place for BELOWGROUND. From the sound system, lighting, and decorations all of these things needed specialized skills to help bring the area alive.
