THE WELLNESS CENTER

Diabetes and cardiovascular diseases are the major health issues in the country which are majorly caused by an unhealthy lifestyle.

This project involved extensive research to design a place where people can learn ways to improve their lifestyle and avoid such issues in the first place.

People usually can not achieve and maintain a healthy lifestyle because it requires knowledge and practice of multiple aspects of human life. Here in this project, all these functions are interconnected with each other to give the best possible result.

This would be a single destination for one seeking a healthy lifestyle.

Discussion Area

Elevated seating space for orientation discussion, cooking lessons, and gardening instructions. Connected with cooking and gardening spaces.

Cooking Area

Four counters, each equipped with four cooking spaces; also ideal for group cooking classes. Kid’s playing area is connected to this space, allowing the users to cook freely.

Gardening Area

This place uses an Aquaponic system to achieve indoor organic gardening. Since this system is water-based instead of soil, the gardening process will be tidier.

Exercise Area

This area focuses mainly upon endurance exercises, which helps in keeping the body healthy and active. The same groups can also be carried forward for exercises.

Sketchup

The aquarium is located in the central space on the first floor, and knowing the fact that this organic system is run by the fishes gives a wholesome feeling of connectivity with nature.

With proper training, people can grow most of the vegetables and herbs in this system and can also create a small Aquaponic system at their home for their loved ones.

Design

For this project, I used reclaimed wood to build a light fixture.

During the process of refining the wood, I noticed the radial saw cuts and grain pattern of the wood which I personally liked and I decided to embrace these characteristics in the final product.

I retained some of the saw cuts and used a thin slice of wood over the lamp to highlight the wooden grains where the light shade of the grain transmits more light than the darker shade.

This fixture not just highlights the grain pattern, but also highlights the information it holds like the type, cut, and age of the tree.

The illuminance polar map is also generated by measuring actual LUX levels of the luminaire at different positions on the polar chart.
