●Wellness is more of sensory experiences. Understanding the need for sensory experiences and enhancing it through interactions with the surroundings is the cornerstone of wellness resort architecture. Wellness resort design has been evolving beyond the typical architecture and interior décor to a deeper understanding of the interdependency of nature and human beings.
●In the design world, biophilic approach means much more than adding a tree plant in the lobby or placing flowers in every room. It is about creating a sanctuary where people feel protected and healthy. An oasis where guest can find inner peace and joy surrounded by the beauty of nature.
Main entrance to reception designed with/around planned savanna-like ecosystem and body of water implying evidence of human activity helps with the information richness of the prospect view.
