The rapid changes in contemporary society have placed significant psychological and physical burdens on individuals. Against this backdrop, there has been growing interest in the emotion of awe which contributes to well-being and resilience. This study aims to clarify the process by which spatial design that encourages awareness of environmental sounds can transform perceptual frameworks. Employing a Research through Design approach, the study conducted three investigations using sound installation works and the Modified Grounded Theory Approach (M-GTA). The findings from each investigation were sequentially reflected in the next spatial works. As a result, the study identified a distinctive process unique to the experience of attentive listening and suggested that such experiences can facilitate new forms of perceptual learning. Furthermore, key design elements essential for creating spaces that prompt awareness of environmental sounds were revealed, leading to the proposal of concrete design outputs. This research presents a new form of practice that alters perceptual frameworks through the medium of ambient sounds—sounds that are ordinarily taken for granted in everyday life.
