rain haus Rain Haus M.S. Day Spa Bienenstock Project
rain haus Located at the base of Mount Rainier in Buckley, Washington Rain Haus is driven by the concept of tectonic plates. When two tectonic plates collide it causes one to dive beneath the other in a process called subduction. These are compressional boundaries which are the result of volcanoes rising along the edge of the continent. Inspired by this process of collision and tension below the surface as well as between water and land the space suggests users to shift their perspective throughout their journey with multiple sclerosis. It parallels their experience to the formation of volcanic forms, discovering a force and strength underneath that the patients learn to project outwardly in their day-to-day lives.
