Redesigned Elevator Space for Claustrophobia

A Redesigned Space for Claustrophobic People 
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
 
The theme "Mobile City" from RSA is Bout designing product, space or services for increasing the convinience of travelling for disabled people.
My chosen direction is the slight or invisible disabilities group. Among them I focus on Claustrophobic. As according to surveys, 5 - 10% of all the people in the world are suffered from different degree of claustrophobia. Which is much higher then people know but there are rarely any analysis nor designs done for them. So I want to try to make something to at least improve their experience in public and small space.
The idea of the final outcome is to bring the sence of natural into the small space. Hence creating a nature environment inside the elevator. 
The floor is a mixture of real plants and artificial turf. And the walls inside are white glossy acrylic which is semi-reflective, so they will reflect the daylight LEDS in the corners to create a sense of large space without reflecting the possible crowd (Which creates pressure to some)
The ceiling lighting is dayligt LED as well, with a streamline shapes cover that inspired by moving clouds.
