- - - DESIGN CONCEPT
  - A series of four courtyards organize a former rice paddy into a space for mental healing and well being. The diagonals along these four public spaces all line up to create a strong visual axis running through the centre of this rather large built volume. This transforms an otherwise complex program into a more easily comprehensible collection of spaces while allowing for 24 hour surveillance of the inhabitants, a major requirement of the client’s brief.
- - - MATERIAL PALETTE
  - - The large built volume is broken down visually using various colours of textured and grooved, plastered surfaces.
    - External paving in Shahabad stone lends a rustic nature to these surfaces
    - Delicate canopies in white painted metal and polycarbonate sheeting contrasts with the more monolithic nature of the main built volumes
    - Building elements in exposed concrete like water spouts and bracket beams deliberately contrast with the more finer finished surfaces of the buildings.
    - Tropical plants including Aglomoema, Calathea Lutea, Giant ferns and Elephant Years lend a lush nature to the landscape.
