Designing a Wellness Center with a Healing Environment Approach

Abstract

The mental and physical health of individuals in the productive age range has a significant impact on their quality of life. This research aims to design a Wellness Center that integrates the concept of the Healing Environment approach to improve people's well-being at this critical phase of life. The research methodology involved a literature survey, needs analysis, and conceptual design involving architectural experts, psychologists, and medical personnel. The Healing Environment approach was integrated into the design by taking into account elements such as natural lighting, green views, and spaces that support relaxation. The design also considers the specific needs of each productive age phase, including physical activity areas, counseling spaces, and recreational facilities that can reduce stress levels and increase social interaction. The results show that the Wellness Center designed with the Healing Environment approach has the potential to make a positive contribution to the well-being of people in the productive age range.
