Calm Haven

Calm Haven is a Holistic Healing Centre that provides the opportunity to learn how to deal with stress and focus on wellness by applying holistic healing methods to life. This centre provides visitors with professional healing services within a tranquil setting. The design responds to four contributors to healing space, attending to the psychological, functional, and social needs of the users as well their self-efficiency (Du Bose et al 2018)

As a designer, I am passionate about creating interiors that improve human well-being. My curiosity about nature, its materials, and organic forms allow me to think outside the box. I also believe that the use of nature and biomimicry within design generates healing environments, not only for humans but also for nature itself. This design, near Strandhill beach, is inspired by the tactile experience of natural coastal patterns and textures. These combine with a strong connection between inside and outside, to provide a coherent and restful sensation throughout the space.
