Architecture evolves alongside society, responding not only to functional needs but also to the well-being of the people who inhabit and move through space. Architecture for Wellness is a design approach that prioritizes the creation of environments capable of nurturing both mind and body. By engaging the senses—light, materiality, sound, texture, and atmosphere—architecture can actively support psychophysical wellness and foster restorative experiences.

This project investigates how spatial qualities can shape states of calm, presence, and awareness. Through the careful orchestration of sensory stimuli, the design aims to create a healing environment that encourages reflection and renewal.

Alps Wellness Resort was selected among the Top 50 finalists in the competition, acknowledging its sensitivity to well-being and its contribution to the discourse on restorative architecture. COMPETITION BY SWITCH COMPETITIONS
