Description Design
Safety, peace and freedom. That is what my design for the treatment areas is all about. These are key words that emerged in my research as something that is much needed.
The space is inviting, but not too busy so that it does not feel clinical but rather homely. I did this by using natural materials and organic patterns. I chose green as the main color because it represents nature, growth and harmony. Also, one of the most important elements of my design is accessibility and practicality.
By creating unique custom furniture as a desk, the space is easily adaptable. You can fold the desk so that the entire space can be used. The space is symmetrically designed, which ensures peace and harmony. This also means that the feeling of a power relationship is less likely to arise. The natural wallpaper that continues into the ceiling provides a safe feeling.
