Dream

“Our dream is to create restorative, site-specific installations worldwide—intimate pavilions where visitors can experience the profound interconnection between their own well-being and the well-being of all that is.” Giuliana Salmaso

A Restorative Space is an evidence-based architectural environment—ranging from an interior room to a freestanding pavilion—purposely designed to invite moments of calmness and foster a state of deep, inside-out regeneration.

The Science Behind the Design

The design of Restorative Spaces is anchored in the science-based frameworks of Restorative Architecture and Biophilia. These principles draw upon five decades of research focused on quantifying the environmental characteristics that foster human recovery and well-being.

Effectiveness:

• Stress and Anxiety Reduction: Decreasing cortisol levels and lowering sympathetic nervous system arousal through deliberate spatial design.

• Activation of Restorative Systems: Stimulating the body’s intrinsic healing mechanisms, such as the parasympathetic nervous system, to encourage physiological recovery.

• Holistic Nurturing: Supporting the individual on a physical, mental, and emotional level by creating a sensory-rich environment that promotes well-being.

Versatile Integration

Restorative Spaces can be seamlessly integrated into various environments, including:

• Residential projects and homes
• Workplaces and corporate settings
• Hospitality and Wellness centers
• Schools and educational facilities
• Hospitals and healthcare environments

They can be implemented wherever the need to de-stress and restore well-being exists.
