REFLECT
WELNESS CENTER SUPPORTING THE OBSERVATORY AT GREENWICH UK
Leading into the building primarily is environmental comfortability and refuge not just for the body, but mind. Varying states of mind, refuge may appear through listless activities including moments of reflection, and meditation under a variant of activities or programs encouraging overall health through mindfulness.
These activities may be led through programs, however, can be encouraged by biomorphic and biomimiy with points of controlled yet fluid exposure taking form as windows framing contextual information represented in the sky at both night and day, solar events, and celestial figures touched by the built and natural contexts.

REFLECT intends to support those at the Greenwich Observatory through acting as both a shelter and refuge, catering to a multitude of necessities for reflection and health. Topics of support should be the center of converse, in addition to considering sustainability through native plantings intended to support the River Thames instead of a monoculture landscape. Sustainability is found within the structure as well thanks to its intent of utilizing entirely timber outside of its recycled polished aluminum and recycled glass facade.
