In this therapy, sound is used as a healing device so it is important that the ‘aural landscape’ that you are creating both inside the building and in the landscape is optimised.
What is good about this site? It is environmental friendly, fresh air and no noise and pollution.
What is bad? For building a building here, foundation is problem because it’s not allowed. Water is not enough to use in our building. Because it is not close to city center transportation is problem.
What is the potential? The potential of the site is; for therapy sessions this site is really great area.
​
These forested areas very well established that I wanted to extend that forested area into the site. Which can have huge enviromental benefit. In terms of oksijinating the area. I wanted a central courtyard garden. And that courtyard helped me when designing my building.
My concept is coming from word Therapy. And it continues like this;calm and nature became one and they create simplicity in my mind. And to be in relationship with the site I went thinking about the features of the bungalows. So they are rectangle in shape, material is wood and they are elevated from the ground.
Because the water is problem for our area. I thought that if I do roofs as pitched roof; in rainy days we can collect water and use it.
The slope of the pitched roofs, glazing facade. The garden facing, glazing facade side is higher. The solar panels helps in technical ways and they were placed according to the direction of the sun.
