Estimation

We provide clear, detailed cost estimates early in the process to align design with budget. This helps you make informed decisions and move forward with confidence.

Permitting/ Build Support

We handle the permitting process and coordinate with contractors to keep your project moving smoothly. Our team stays involved to support you through approvals and into construction.

Exploring Wellness Areas

Architecture and Form

  • Generous daylight and framed views of nature uplift mood, reduce stress, and support mental resilience.

  • Seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor zones promote a sense of openness and psychological freedom 

  • Quiet, buffered spaces and careful acoustic design create sanctuary zones for rest, reflection, and calm 

  • Biophilic forms, natural materials, and organic geometry soothe the mind and cultivate connection to life’s rhythms

Interior Design

  • Maximize natural light and frame views with glazing, skylights, and thoughtful placement of openings — supporting mood, alertness, and mental balance

  • Blur boundaries between interior and exterior (e.g. via sliding walls, garden touchpoints) to cultivate openness and psychological freedom

  • Incorporate acoustic buffers and quiet zones 

  • Use biophilic elements, organic shapes, and warm natural materials (wood, stone, plants) to soothe the mind

Site and Landscape

  • Curated plantings, water features, and natural textures engage the senses and promote calm

  • Winding paths, varied topography, and framed vistas invite exploration and evoke curiosity

  • Quiet nooks, buffers (hedges, berms), and acoustic plantings provide refuge from stimulation

  • Gradual transitions (patios, terraces, green thresholds) blur the boundary between inside and out

Spa Areas

  • Thermal and water features (sauna, steam room, plunge pools) form a restorative journey through heat, humidity, and contrast

  • Spatial layering (forecourts, transition zones, treatment suites) guides guests from active to deeply restful states

  • Quiet alcoves, sensory buffers, and soft partitions delineate sanctuary zones for introspection and peace

  • Natural textures, ambient water sounds, and plantations integrated into form bring grounding, calm, and connection to nature

Nature Connection

  • Paths, decks, and terraces oriented to frame nature views and draw you outdoors

  • Garden “rooms,” courtyards, and planted buffers that foster privacy, refuge, and immersion in vegetation

  • Water elements (ponds, streams, fountains) as focal points that engage senses and anchor the landscape

  • Gradual thresholds (e.g. green thresholds, graduated paving, stepping stones) that soften the boundary between built and natural materials

Custom

  • Fragrant gardens (herbs, blossoms) and sensory plantings that engage smell and touch during daily movement

  • Meandering walking loops, elevated paths, or boardwalks that guide slow movement through nature

  • Reflective water elements (mirroring pools, gentle streams) that draw focus and calm the mind

 
 

Market Sectors

Where We Design Wellness

We embed wellness in every realm, whether it’s a resort, office, multi-family building, or retail hub. Wellness design boosts occupant health, satisfaction, and retention, which in turn strengthens brand loyalty and asset value.

Integrating wellness into hotels, offices, multifamily, and retail creates environments that reduce stress, enhance productivity, and enrich daily experience.

Hotels and Resorts

  • Biophilic Design: Integrate natural elements—such as indoor greenery, natural light, and water features—to reduce stress and promote relaxation.

  • Wellness-Focused Amenities: Include spa-inspired bathrooms, meditation gardens, yoga decks, and spaces designed for mindfulness and rejuvenation.

  • Healthy Environments: Use non-toxic materials, optimized air and lighting systems, and ergonomic furniture to enhance guests’ physical comfort and wellbeing.

Office and Work Spaces

  • Biophilic Design: Integrate natural elements—such as greenery, daylight, and organic textures—to reduce stress and boost creativity and focus.

  • Restorative Spaces: Include meditation rooms, quiet lounges, and wellness zones designed to encourage mindfulness and mental clarity.

  • Healthy Environments: Use ergonomic furniture, purified air systems, and circadian lighting to enhance comfort, energy, and overall wellbeing.

Multi-Family Housing

  • Biophilic Design: Integrate plants, natural textures, and abundant daylight to create a calming, health-focused living environment.

  • Community Wellness Areas: Include shared gardens, fitness spaces, and lounges that encourage social connection and active lifestyles.

  • Healthy Living Environments: Use low-VOC materials, natural ventilation, and smart lighting to support residents’ comfort and wellbeing.

Retail and Restaurants

  • Biophilic Design: Incorporate greenery, natural textures, and daylight to create inviting, wellness-focused customer experiences.

  • Relaxation-Focused Layouts: Design open, uncluttered spaces with calm lighting and sensory balance to reduce stress and enhance comfort.

  • Healthy Environments: Use air purification, sustainable materials, and ergonomic seating to promote wellbeing and longer guest stays.

Our 6 Step Design Process

1. Initial Consultation (1 - 2 Weeks)

We begin with a conversation to understand your goals, and budget. During this stage, we review your site, share initial insights, and confirm the scope of work. Most consultations and early assessments can be completed within one to two weeks.

2. Concept Design (2 - 4 weeks)

Ideas take shape through early sketches, layouts, and inspiration boards. This is where we define the big-picture vision—style, flow, and the relationship of spaces to daily needs and program. Concept design typically takes two to four weeks depending on the complexity of your project.

3. Schematic Design (3 - 5 Weeks)

Concepts evolve into scaled drawings and preliminary 3D visuals. We refine layouts, begin exploring materials, and confirm the overall design direction together. Clients can expect three to five weeks for this stage as ideas are tested and adjusted.

4. Design Development ( 4 - 6 weeks)

We dive deeper into details—materials, finishes, lighting, and built-in features. At this stage, we coordinate with engineers and consultants to ensure the design is functional and ready to build. This phase usually takes four to six weeks as details are finalized.

5. Construction Documents (6 - 10 weeks)

Our team creates a complete set of technical drawings and specifications—plans, elevations, sections, and detailed notes—that your builder will use. Depending on the project size, this stage often takes six to ten weeks to produce a precise and thorough set.

6. Permitting (4 - 8 Weeks)

We prepare and submit documents to your local jurisdiction, coordinate revisions if required, and secure the necessary permits. Permitting time varies greatly depending on the city, but most approvals take four to eight weeks.
