Soulful: a transformative, organically shaped interior oasis tailored for younger generations to disconnect from their phones and reconnect with nature. Utilizing biophilic components, this space immerses visitors into a natural world. It targets a number of senses by incorporating sound that mimics nature including birds and water droplets, the feel of wood and stones in the walkway, and the scent created by essential oils. Students are encouraged to step back from social media and the virtual world created by technology to ground themselves. This space aims to rekindle a relationship and provide a unique experience with the natural world.

As students enter this rejuvenating sanctuary, a gentle wave of tranquility washes over. The scent of fresh earth and the feel of stones underneath their feet as they walk along the path create the impression of being in an exterior environment. Bathed in the soft glow of natural light entering from the large windows and filtering through leafy structures, they find a nook to settle in. The quiet sound of the water feature sets a soothing rhythm. The natural, earthy scents are created by a number of essential oils varying from eucalyptus, lavender, jasmine, and mint. The student feels a sense of focus and peace, a drastic contrast to the digital world outside. These natural elements embrace and reignite their sense of wonder and desire to reconnect with the tangible world.
