"The concept is informed by the idea of neurogenesis, translating the formation of new neural connections into a spatial system that links mind, body, and environment."
"Material choices include wood, stone, lime plaster, concrete, and mineral-based finishes, selected for their durability and sensory qualities."
"The program is organized across approximately 20,000 sqft and distributed over three levels, consisting of eight primary rooms dedicated to therapeutic rituals."
"Each area functions as part of a sequential spatial system, guiding movement through phases of release, restoration, and re-engagement."
