As humans, we have an intrinsic affiliation with nature. We are nourished by nature and is always evolving with it. The world faces challenges like global warming. The design premise is to question existing systems and their implications towards nature, resources and perception. The development is designed using the principles of Biophilic Design - biomorphosis and how it can relate to a rejuvenation hub. The overall design also aims to engage the different senses such as the sense of temperature that can be produced naturally by the hot spring.
