“Good design and beautiful spaces can be transformative. They change the mood, relax the mind, and create a place of respite. It’s what we all love so much about travel and vacations. The element of transporting you away from those everyday stresses. Imagine having that space, literally in your own backyard, to come home to every day. It’s life changing. The sunshine. The fresh air. The verdant and blooming surroundings. The birdsong. The exquisite visual elements that surprise and delight you. It’s truly healing.”
