In 2026, mental health is more important than physical health. Psychotherapy clinics are no longer stigmatized. Their design is a 'hug.' We explore 'Soft Architecture': no sharp corners, tactile materials (wool, felt, wood), and cortisol-reducing colors. The lobby here is a buffer zone where a person leaves anxiety before entering the therapist's office.
Safety Geometry
A sharp corner is a subconscious threat. Our projects have none. The reception desk is shaped like a pebble or cloud. Walls flow seamlessly into the ceiling, creating a cocoon feeling. Furniture is low, 'grounded,' which psychologically stabilizes the guest's state.
Color and Light
Anti-Stress Palette
We use complex, dusty shades: sage, dusty rose, warm sand. No bright red or sterile white. Only indirect light, no direct beams in the eyes. Light must be warm (2700K), mimicking sunset, promoting relaxation.
