The Verandah

The Verandah is a wellness centre exploring the connection between humans and nature to promote proactive, holistic healthcare. The project rethinks traditional approaches to health by integrating wellbeing into everyday life, emphasising prevention, education, and community engagement. Drawing on biophilic principles, sustainable design, and human-centred approaches, the space encourages reflection, movement, and self-care while fostering a sense of connection between people and their environment. The concept of the verandah itself symbolises the threshold between built spaces and nature, creating a harmonious balance between shelter, openness, and wellbeing.
