Concept Statement:


The concept of this project was inspired by both of my client objectives -- To promote stress management and help families to have closer intimacy with each other in a fun way. In the way of relieving stress, we often first will think about to meet a counsellor or psychologist to have a consultant, therapy or medicine to get help. But 9 out of 10 people resist treating mental health in this critical atmosphere and medicine. So that The Mind Hub is transforming by cooperating with MYBestBox Malaysia to have a mental health centre that can relieve stress in a fun way and also can draw close the relationship of family and friend to have stronger emotional support by some group activities.

The Centre transform and also the people will have transform by the activities, classes and workshop. They will relieve from stress, sadness and depression and get stronger emotional support from in their work and life. Life will get better and better just by having transformation from a bad mood to a good mood and strong belief. So Transform will be the concept of this project. Transform is to change the appearance or character of something or someone so that that thing or person is improved, just the same mean of The Mind Hub want to convey

Design element ( Subject method )
A phoenix represents transformation, death, and rebirth in its fire. As a powerful spiritual totem, the phoenix is the ultimate symbol of strength and renewal. The phoenix animal guide is symbolic of the sun, which “falls” in setting each night only to be reborn in rising the next morning. Phoenix brings the same meaning that The Mind Hub wanted to bring to the communities, to transform and relieve. So from the phoenix subject method, come out some curve and organic line and shape that develops to the plan .Soft, shallow curves suggest comfort, safety, familiarity, relaxation.

And the reason behind choosing white and brown colour is because Brown is believed to help create a wholesome feeling, a connection with the earth, and a sense of orderliness and convention. Brown is a stable and grounded colour that is believed to help you feel like you fit in and belong, White is the positive meanings that white can convey include cleanliness, freshness, and simplicity. The colour white often seems like a blank slate, symbolizing a new beginning or a fresh start. Both colours show to be more believed to help people feel like fit in and a new beginning.

In this Stress Management and Relieve Centre consist a reception area, a waiting area with a different type of seat, a café that has good sunlight expose in can have met here, a recharge area, a multipurpose room that can separate to 3 room that able to have the training, workshop, behaviour class and etc. and Stress relieves activities station to have fun. The user experience is highlighted with the design of the curve form and element in the middle of the centre. It help the centre to have the feeling of bind up, also the loading corridor on the recharge hub can have a good view to see others playing at the station that surrounds the hub. Hope the user can have a good own secure feeling in the hub while there are facing the stress.
