East Wing
The East Wing provides communal spaces for living, reflecting, and expressing emotions. The communal living space offers a lounge area with comfortable seating, a kitchenette/coffee station, dining and work spaces, making it a multi-functioning space where patients have their home comforts. This was an important addition to the retreat to ensure everyone feels welcome and comfortable within this environment. The space is bright during the day with added roof-lights and in the evening becomes a cosy, safe space built for relaxation.
The Art studio was designed because art is a form of therapy for cancer patients, providing a way to release both positive and negative emotions through art.
The indoor garden offers a place for self-reflection within a tranquil atmosphere, and the self-reflection pods allow patients to immerse themselves in the environment and reflect on their cancer journey so far or their time at Evergreen Retreat.
