vision for wellness
We see architecture as a caring profession.
Architecture and interior design are about helping people to live well. The way we build impacts our health and the way we live. Great interiors, buildings and neighborhoods promote natural light, fresh air, active lifestyles, non-toxic materials, contact with nature, strong and inclusive social bonds, environmental care, sustainable finances, and beauty and harmony that point to a loving Creator.
Wellness is what we do - and seek to do better. Our world is in need of architects and interior designers who engage in health ministry by design.
Here is our vision for how you can prepare for this ministry:
