Abstract

The North Shore Healing Center gives a place for personal mental health rehabilitation. This building provides a safe and comfortable place for people to rebuild themselves. It uses natural healing remedies and holistic methods when treating patients back to a happy and healthy state of mind. This thesis studies the relationships that people have with their surrounding built environments. In order to communicate effectively with the users of this building the research was very extensive. Not only was the way people physically interact with buildings studied, but also people’s body language around variations of building materials. This project makes it easier for patients to be comfortable in a home away from home, while reaching their goals of a happy and healthy life.
