I recently was invited to design some buildings for a new online university for the Edesign Tribe as part of a design contest. I’ll let you know if my design wins!
I had numerous buildings I could choose to design from but decided to pick the Wellness Center. To me, the foundation for all good design is feeling happy, healthy, and inspired.
The building structure was already determined, and my challenge was to create something that embodied “wellness” as I see it and that could nourish and provide health and wellness for a wide variety of beautiful, creative e-designers!
These tips you provided for living a life with wellness are inspiring! You gave such thought to incorporating many modalities to express our ideas of happiness in a designed space.
Thank you Denise!
Excellent job, Mary Ann! Great list of essential wellness areas to include in any home, work, or educational space!
Thanks so much! These are areas that are important to me but of course any wellness area can be designed to fit what fits with your lifestyle and self care routine. So many possibilities!
I love the art on the wall and overall color scheme!! And how fun to see these photos of you too!!
Thanks so much Christie!
Mary Ann, this is a beautiful, and thoughtful design. All of the areas are so well thought out and important for wellness. The one spot I kept going back to the meditation area. What a perfect spot!
Oh thank you so much! Yes, a meditation area just needs to be peaceful and comfortable for you, a place that feels good. It does not have to be big or fancy. I do think color really affects how you feel in a meditation space so it should be something you love.
Wow, I truly enjoyed reading this post. I too have become more interested in wellness and how to achieve that in our lives. I hope your post inspires your readers, I am sure it will! Great post Mary Ann!
Thanks so much Amy, I hope it does too. Taking time and designing space for wellness and self care really can transform your health, and business too.
Wow, what an amazing colorful and well-thought out room!! And LOVE the photos of you dancing and with drums. I love to dance too. You’ve inspired me to look for an online class. And your color choices are gorgeous! Good luck in the contest.
Thank you so much!! I also appreciate that you like me adding some personal photos and love that you also like to dance! I am happy to recommend some online classes. Feel free to message me.
