The Healing House

Louie

The firm also took into consideration the four categories of Wellbeing Architecture— Physical, Emotional, Spiritual, and Intellectual wellbeing. The firm’s specialization on wellbeing is about the interrelation of these four principles.

Physical Wellbeing

The exterior of the house was formulated with consideration of the client’s condition. All the spaces brought about by the designers are based on the client’s vision—which is to have a sense of ease. Upon entry, the road connecting to the park drive is angled. In response to the chronic condition of the client, the entrada was designed to minimize head movement and make navigation easier.

Emotional Wellbeing

A tropical theme was employed to make the structure more biophilic. The tropical theme seeks to create a closer connection between the building, the user and nature which would then help heal the mind and the senses. The site was planned so that rooms would have views of the green and blue spaces that were carefully interspersed within the overall development.

Spiritual Wellbeing

To enhance the sense of purpose and being within a space, the healing house was designed to maximize light and ventilation in both the indoor and outdoor spaces.

Intellectual Wellbeing

Due to the client’s chronic condition, the healing house is designed to facilitate wayfinding using familiar design patterns.
