An Oasis in the City 

“An Oasis in the City” addresses the issue of the pressure that modern life demands where our urban and suburban existence surround us with a crowded, artificial environment of plastic, high-stress lifestyles, loud noises and environmental toxins that assails our cells and sensibilities.

The architecture is like an oasis in the city that encourages urban dwellers to leave these tensions for a while to cultivate our natural wholeness. It acts as a symbol of hope and offers a moment of respite, a softscape to the hardscapes of the urban environment. An ambition to achieve a highly urban context that is full of city but at the same time trying to evoke these ideas of a natural world and wide, open spaces.

The architecture agenda provides an environment to foster personal relationships, through social, cultural and artistic activities, an environment for recreation, reflection, contemplation, education, and discussion, and most importantly an environment that enhances one’s experience of nature through all senses.

“An Oasis in the City” embraces the human being coming in and provides hope, tranquillity, serenity, and haven for the mind. An anticipation of a future which is good, based on mutuality, a sense of personal competence, coping ability, psychological well-being, purpose and meaning in life, a sense of the possible.
