Creating a home sanctuary
Nature
By incorporating elements of the natural world, HAVN transforms living spaces into restorative havens that positively impact both mental and physical health.
We utilize optimized natural light, sensory integration, the power of greenery, natural and organic forms, seamless indoor-outdoor living and special architectural flow and layout techniques to weave nature into our designs.
Optimized natural light
Abundant natural light is fundamental to wellness design and works by helping to regulate the body's circadian rhythms, which can improve sleep and boost mood.
Sensory integration
A true sanctuary engages all senses, providing a multi-layered experience of calm and connection.
The power of greenery
Introducing living plant life is a core biophilic principle that has a powerful effect on personal wellness. Plants improve indoor air quality, add vibrant color, and create a strong connection to nature.
Natural and organic forms
Unlike the rigid, geometric lines common in traditional architecture, biophilic design often features organic, biomorphic shapes and patterns. This promotes a sense of peace and harmony by reflecting the natural world.
Seamless indoor-outdoor living
The ability to move freely between indoor and outdoor spaces enhances mental well-being by providing a continuous connection to nature.
Architectural flow and layout
A thoughtful architectural layout ensures a smooth, intentional transition from social areas to private sanctuaries. Pocket doors, screens, and built-in shelving can define private zones within an open floor plan without completely sacrificing a feeling of openness.
