Design Concept
This Intergenerational Wellness Hub is a small mental health clinic designed to support emotional well-being and encourage meaningful connections across all ages. Originally envisioned with a minimalist aesthetic, the final design embraces a vibrant mix of colors and textures, using primary pinks, greens, and touches of blue to create an engaging and welcoming atmosphere. The space balances playfulness with comfort and promotes inclusivity and warmth.
The clinic follows a holistic approach to mental health by bringing together a diverse team of professionals, including therapists, counselors, social workers, art and music therapists, and mindfulness coaches. The environment is thoughtfully crafted to ensure that clients of all generations feel at ease, supported, and understood.
