“HOME” is a space that is intimate to all living beings on the planet. It has a broader, deeper and personal connection with its user apart from being a physical shelter for humans and their daily lives, a home forms a distinct, intimate connection with its users. The ultimate goal for a home is to ignite
“the idea of belonging” within its sphere and amongst all those sharing the space.

We want to work with you to explore and think about shifting our ways of designing toward a future in which humans are a part, a giving not distracting part, of nature. We sincerely look forward to your participation in this mind-set changing design, so we can pass on with you a better place for youth to grow and connect. This body soul youth healing centre lies on the periphery of the beautiful hilly City of Coquitlam, BC, Canada.
In this hub, a calming pattern of green areas and natural features, evoke the feel of nature and the love for life "biophilia". The centre is providing a natural exciting environment for the youth to grow, exercise, and connect. Design an inspiring place for our young generation.
