Wellness rehabilitation centre on Bray seafront promenade.
The layout of the wellness rehabilitation centre provides an indoor oasis-like environment that encourages visitors to connect with the beautiful seascape surroundings. The design uses curves and other organic shapes that mimic the natural flow of the surrounding seascape, creating a sense of harmony between the indoor and outdoor spaces. Natural beauty is enhanced by a reflective, open and spacious layout that allows visitors to move around freely and explore the centre’s different areas; whilst enhancing the feeling of connection with the sea beyond.
The design prioritises natural light, the sea view and reflection. The existing building blocked the sea view. This design opens routes and views through the building. Wellness and light can have a significant impact on mood and well-being. Accordingly, light, mirrors, glass, and other reflective surfaces are used to bring a sense of depth, airiness, and spaciousness into the building’s centre, making it feel more open and welcoming. The subtle and delicate colours of the seascape are incorporated in elements such as counters and soft furnishings. As social interaction is essential for wellness, a café is included, complementing private spaces for relaxation and therapy. The presence of the wellness rehabilitation centre can help the local community, promoting wellness initiatives and encouraging community involvement.
In summary, by prioritising natural light, reflective surfaces, and privacy, and by considering the layout and community engagement, the wellness rehabilitation centre provides a welcoming oasis that promotes wellness and connection with nature.
