Kenkō means health; to embody a lifestyle of wellbeing and longevity.
It’s an inner-city, wellness collective. One that optimises the physical, mental and social wellbeing of the community.
This project was a full scope brief. We were tasked with the branding, naming, interiors and landscaping.. It consisted of a Zen courtyard, Yoga studio, Practitioner suites + an Urban Retreat apartment.
Since its construction in 1982, the building has been a part of Aucklanders health and wellbeing. Now the entire property has been renovated, focusing on environmental and human health. With natural materials and thoughtful design, we’ve created an immersive space that’s kind to both people and the planet.
Good_Space is a Wellness Interior Design studio.
Environmental + human health are intrinsically linked. Discover how you can go beyond the surface aesthetics, to design your commercial or residential project; that’s better for you and the planet.
How exactly? With a focus on 6 core elements of the built environment, backed by science + led by design; to profoundly impact human + environmental health:
_AIR
_WATER
_LIGHT
_BIOPHILIA
_SOUND
_CIRCULAR
Wellness Architecture
Our relationship with space is intimate. From the air we share, to the sounds we hear – we’re more connected than we realise, given we spend 21 hours per day inside - almost 90% of our time.
It affects us more than we realise. The impacts of how we spend our time are showing up in our mental, physical and emotional health. It’s not just about keeping a healthy diet or exercise regime, it’s the big stuff that’s really impacting us; it’s where we spend our time.
Our disconnect from the natural world means that we’re also increasingly distracted from protecting our most precious resources, our environment that sustains us.
There’s a reason that the Wellness Architecture trend is on a steep trajectory, the impacts continue to be measured and it provides a framework to design + build better.
Through substantiated research, exciting new materials, innovative technology and rigorous building standards, Wellness Architecture is here. Not only that, it’s been coined as one of the most meaningful future wellness trends of 2019.
