Biobased solutions for conflict areas

The creation of architecture and an inside environment that promotes well-being is important for our physical and mental health and can be restorative in the case of stress. Natural materials have similar health benefits to being out in nature. Buildings should foster psychological well-being and aid a healthy lifestyle, being safe spaces which enable us to feel comfortable, relaxed and revived as we live, give birth or find shelter within them.

Wooden surfaces help to ‘bring nature indoors´, making a room feel warmer and cosier, and they also have a calming effect, comparable to the feeling of walking in the forest; the weight is lifted from our shoulders and we feel revived, renewed and refreshed.

Skin-to-skin architectural concept focuses on buildings and spaces that are meant for the most vulnerable people to build back their living conditions greener and better and especially restorative.
