Our client approached us to create a unique design for a healing centre in the Byron Hinterland in which the building itself would form part of an organic healing process.
The healing centre was conceived as a synergistic sanctuary where every element would conduce to revitalise body, mind and spirit. Archisoul realised this vision through a cellular design approach, encompassing sacred geometry.
A Fibonacci spiral forms the basis of the building, guiding guests from the entry to the heart of the centre. It is a metaphor for the healing journey inwards to the self.
This design prioritises sustainability in harmony with its pristine natural environment. A landscaped green roof complements and extends the surrounding bushland while serving as a viewing platform and breakout space for quiet contemplation.
Distinct spaces are layered within the spiral form to support separate functions within an integrated whole. Nestled at the outer edge of the spiral, the oration pit forms the connective tissue of the centre, bringing guests together in an intimate, informal setting.
The inward focused activities in the design focus are complemented by the outward looking sleeping areas of the retreat that offer privacy and expansive bushland views.
Healing activities offered at the retreat include organic cooking presentations with a tailored nutritional approach, kinesiology, yoga, synergistic sharing exercises though metaphysical bridges, as well as light and sound healing in a safe and nurturing environment.
