In Asian society, we are always taught to suppress our emotions in order to conform to the value of "peace is the most important". However, growing up in such an environment will cause people to have many physical and mental problems in adulthood.However, people are born with the ability to self-adjust, grow, and recover. After transformation, people can rebuild their physical and mental health. The concept of this space is to pay attention to the healing environment and its impact on us, and to create a calm and healing atmosphere.

When you see the pattern of roots on the stairs, you will think of the immersive experience you just felt on the first floor, and realize that now you have to leave this area and enter the next stage, heading for "rebirth". It's like a seed growing from a root to Break through the soil and become a plant.
