Can "DUB", the expansion/compression effect of sound, be applied to architecture?

The space consists of various volumes such as a kitchen with an extremely high ceiling, a Japanese style room on the mezzanine floor, and a living room on the second floor. There are no openings on the south, east, and west elevations, and light and ventilation are secured from three voids that function as inner gardens and terraces. "In order for DUB to work, the plan, cross-sectional plan, and details had to be as seamless, frameless, and scaleless as possible, so the composition of the spaces, the colors used, the finishes on the walls and floors, and the fitment of domestic sashes and drainage were all carefully controlled.
