Asian Zen


The motif is to create a Zen comfort within the spa apparatus. The tones and textures set a soothing scene. The flow from the interior to the exterior space holds the same theme of Asian Zen. The pathway from the veranda sipping green tea into the relaxing bathtub in the spa-like bathroom keeps your mood mellow. With the help of therapy for hurricane relief, and a relaxing massage you leave feeling stress free. The trance energy is set the moment one steps foot within the threshold of this Zen paradise. Nature and meditation are figures exemplified throughout the design. One would not know they are entering a single wide trailer even by the outdoor view of this relief center. The journey through out the floor plan flows from the outdoors into the structure the beauty of the center is the ability to mobilize it. Within the temporary dwelling one can live comfortably. If a hurricane victim were to come for a service, they can receive counseling provided by licensed psychiatrists. Following their session reiki, reflexology, and different forms of massage are offered within the spa located on the veranda. In order to help these hurricane victims one must be empathetic and help them understand the outcome. With the safety and security practiced within this Shelter/Bus a sense of home and comfort will be embraced. Creating a home is the main purpose, when one feels at home and is taken care of relief can take place. This is what is represented though out the structure- comfort, relaxation and therapy.
