Project Description
This roadside healing space is made to give people a calm break from the busy life of the city. It is placed beside a busy road and turns a simple side area into a place for rest and connection. People can enjoy the sunlight, watch the clouds, and feel the fresh air all day. This open feeling helps visitors feel free, light, and relaxed.
The space is for both community use and personal quiet time. People can sit alone or with others to communicate. Around the seating, there are green plants, grass, and trees that bring life, color, and a natural smell to the space and also give shaded. The trees also help reduce the dust and noise from the road, making the area more peaceful.
This healing space changes the idea that the side of the road is only for passing by. Instead, it makes it a real public place where people can stop for a short break during their day. Here, they can talk with others, enjoy the natural view, or simply rest under the open sky.
The open-air design and greenery work together to help reduce stress, improve mood, and give a sense of balance. It shows that healing can happen not only in closed rooms but also in open public spaces, right in the middle of daily life.
