CONCEPT : TRANSFORMATION
My goal is to create a space that supports a collaborative mentorship for women in the workforce ages 35-55, and this space will be a safe place to heal the mind holistically. This form of treatment can help people develop a deeper connection with themselves, leading to significant improvements in their self-esteem and self-awareness.
This wellness center will provide the tools while participants are at the center as well as bringing it into their daily lives.

Clearly, identified is an interest for an environment that provides special sensory focus to the women that would benefit from this space.

The plan was designed for one side of the floor plan to be a collaboration space for the users, while the other side is the mediation space. On the left side of the plan, users will check in and explain how they feel that day. Once they check-in, they will get the amenities such as treatment rooms and massage rooms. The right side of the plan is for collaboration amongst the users. This will allow them to come together and talk about ways to cope with stress in their daily lives. and as well as making connections.
