Eunoia Wellness Center

It’s a wellness center that aims to provide healing and wellness services to underprivileged communities through the utilization of natural hot spring water. The project operates on 2 scales: Individuals and Groups. Individuals: by providing a serene and rejuvenating environment to relax and a unique and holistic approach to wellness, catering to the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of visitors. 2. Community: by improving economic and social conditions, an educational zone can provide opportunities for community members to learn new skills and knowledge, which can help them find better jobs and improve their economic situation. Furthermore, the center can provide a safe and supportive environment for community members to connect and build relationships with one another, which can help foster a sense of community and reduce isolation.

The design responds to the site and context:
• A sympathetic relationship between the context and architecture, and sensitive responses to context – climate, water, vegetation, and traditional building form – include water conservation.
• Building height – maximum two stories for residential to prevent negative impacts on view-sheds.
• Buildings and landforms – stepped in response to the geology with careful preservation of the rock outcroppings.
• Building surfaces – mud brick, natural stone, plaster with textured finish, and concrete to be used with discretion.
• Green roofs
• Water conservation and recycling – Water holding tanks or cisterns to capture rainwater and native plantings.
• Landscaping – that which respects Jordan Valley's unique and indigenous landscape, with the utilization of native and non-invasive plant materials with low maintenance and low irrigation requirements (e.g., acacia, citrus trees, and native grasses).
