Abstract

Childbirth is a transformative and powerful experience, but the postpartum period is the most vulnerable, yet it is the most overlooked phase. Many mothers and their partners are left to face isolation, lack of support, and emotional and physical challenges with limited guidance. This thesis aims to address this critical gap in maternal care through the design of a purpose-built and family centered facility that supports healing, connection, and wellbeing during the first six weeks after birth and beyond.
