Living in a pandemic state: how interiors face to isolation
INNER MAGAZINE – The Interior Architecture Magazine n. 4 ISSN: 2611 - 3872 (Online) The spread of the new Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 is forcing to change rapidly our lives, and this pandemic scenario won’t last for a little time. Gideon Lichfield in his article in the MIT Technology Review state that this situation will probably last for 18 months. Many scientists, moreover, are convinced that this is just the first of many pandemias that we will face in the next future. This sudden change is striking in the domestic space and in the public/public interior.
The space that hosts the project is currently a 9 holes golf course. Our wish is to turn it into a verdant, fragrant garden where rosemary and thyme give golfers and non-golfers alike an opportunity to nourish their body and mind. Creating this mesmerizing atmosphere will be made possible by planting one million rosemarie and thyme bushes around the golf area.
OUR VISION
Our goal is to create an eco-sustainable place that gives our guests the opportunity to connect with their deeper selves, and with nature. We believe we can achieve our mission by creating spaces that combine elements of
