While my career has taken me in a direction that has diverged from the Health & Wellness project type – primarily institutional and residential work – it really is true that Health and Wellness have a practical application across many project types. Most recently I’ve had the opportunity apply that knowledge to my experience with restorative justice centers. Rather than designing traditional places of detention, we are seeking to flip the script and make these facilities instead places of reformation and reeducation, reducing recidivism through biophilic design, natural daylight, views and access to nature, direct supervision, educational programs, and continuous support.
