INSIDE THE HUBS
Immersive Hubs enagage your sences and are proven to help treat depression.
Lack of light can throw off your circadian rhytyhm which then can over produce melatonin causing you to oversleep, release less seratonin and dramatically affect your mood.
Music also has been linked to the release of oxytocin which is imperative when treating mood disorders. Music also reduces physical and emotional stress levels >>>

Whats inside an Immersive space??
Each hub has a different design to gear towards its own form of therapy.
This Immersive hub is used for your traditional therapy sessions or virtual therapy.
They’re designed with glass backing that allow you to look out into the space and be immersed with the core of the building.
Having the glass backing allows you to also take in the beauty of the fountain and to relax while you release your stress.
You might even forget where you are... its okay we designed it that way.
goodbye steriotypical mental health care facilitys.
