Sanaterra

Y6 Thesis project, MArch at University of Sheffield, UK

This project intends to create a symbiosis between people, landscape and building, through exploring how a building can promote healthy landscapes as well as healthy people, drawing on Modernist sanatoriums and various examples of preventive health centre typologies. Based in western Scotland, the scheme is spread between an ancient oak woodland and a peat bog habitat, informing a construction approach based on natural materials which embody the context, maximise user comfort and create varying atmospheres.
