The Healing Center, part of the forest leisure town in Sunsan-eup, aims to secure recreational and restful spaces for citizens through the value of forests. It's designed to harmonize with the terrain while ensuring panoramic views of the woods below the mountainside without disrupting the landscape. Emphasizing a genuine natural environment, the center utilizes sloped areas, nestling the structures into the terrain and creating gently sloped roofs amid the forest canopy.

This space aims to offer diverse programs physically and visually connected to nature, reflecting the essence of a healing center. The design focuses on eco-friendly spaces and active integration between indoor and outdoor areas. Under low roofs akin to mountain birds, major program areas have separate outdoor spaces, fostering activities that harmonize with nature's flow. This envisioned Healing Center invites individuals to experience and enjoy nature while reflecting its tranquility and circulation within the space.
