​
The Retreat proposed a perfect space for people who need some time to themselves. Within this space, there is a relaxation room surrounded by curtain wall system windows that allows full views of the nature land outside. The relaxation room has an area for visitors to out their feet up, read, watch the fireplace (suitable for winter time) and has the opportunity for those to walk outside on to the deck to get fresh air. There is a wet room specifically designed to offer visitors a place to cool down or steam to release toxins. Allowances have been made for accessible toilets and doorways throughout so people of all abilities can feel welcomed. The relaxation room is far away enough from the other areas so that noise doesn't travel and interfere with the visitors healing time. The overall space is inviting and inclusive to all visitors through open, spacious and careful planning.
