Enabling The [PHILIA] Commune Year 3: Biophilic Studio & Wellness Retreat Centre
Site Map of Cymmer, Wales
A cluster of multifunctional buildings in Cymmer to encourage startups and to connect people with nature and improve their well-being The project is aiming to revitalize a small rural town in Wale - Cymmer, by building a mixed-use intervention in the Plateau Site which includes studios, workshops, multifunctional hall, retreat rooms, communal kitchen and cafeteria, art therapy room and mini farmland for both the Cymmer residence and anyone who seek for nature and values their wellbeing. The main concept of the project is to help people with mental issues to engage in a new community and eventually find their purpose of life or their ability, interests and be more motivated to get a job or start their own business in the town, eventually they could motivate the newcomers. The building cluster would act as a catalyst to this cycle. Meanwhile the project also focus on sustainability and the connection to nature by having inhabited wall for moss and plants; Farmlands and fruit trees which could contribute food to the community; Anaerobic digester installed in the building to provide biogas for heating and cooking, furthermore, compost to the farming area. Most importantly, acting as a stepping stone toward New Rural.

Ground Floor Plan
The project aim to accomodate the pontypridd neaby young single families and provide support for children care and assist them going back to education HOME Home can mean where you are physically living, but it also means the place you belong to, you spend your time and you loved to be in. Home is a sense of belonging, it is the memories we have with our family, friends; the moments we feel comfortable and safe; the time when we are having our favourite dishes. The sense of home doesn’t have to be a space that we live in, it can be a community, a memory or even a smell. Home should make you feel being embraced. We can be familiar to a place but it does not feel like home. Home is not just what surrounds us, but also what within and between us Key Sections
