healthcare and hospitality
Healthcare design methods of the 20th century have radically degraded our healing environments by replacing human comfort and healing with a standard design method of internal densified affairs; maximizing the number of patient beds and integration of new technologies, and leaving nature and alternative practices out of the equation. This has caused many of today's facilities to lack the most important attributes of a health & wellness healing environment suited for a holistic approach. If the architectural design of a healthcare facility integrates a holistic healing methodology and philosophy as it's genetic design makeup, then the built infrastructure of the facility will embody and produce radically reformed healing environments that stimulate a higher level of health and wellbeing for human life.
Many healthcare facilities throughout our cities have poorly designed entrance/lobby/waiting areas that can make our healthcare experience very daunting the moment you first enter into the building. Here at the Chakra Center, the environment in which you first step into is intended to start the healing process right away with its tranquil biophilic design. The mass amounts of sunlight, views of nature, material types, water sounds, and organic form all work together to calm heartates, lower anxiety/anxious feelings, and curate high vibrational frequencies and energies.
