Robarts Spaces recently participated in a presentation hosted by Shanghai Tongchuang Youth Psychology Clinic to share insights on mental health. The clinic, thoughtfully designed by Robarts Spaces, aims to positively impact psychological spaces for youth. During the event, Wangyi, Partner and Design Director at Robarts Spaces, introduced the project's design and underlying philosophy.

The presentation went beyond aesthetics, delving into the profound psychological and emotional impact these clinics can have on their users. Adam Robarts, Founder and CEO of Robarts Spaces, contributed by engaging the audience in a thoughtful discussion on the growth versus pleasure mindset.

Adam shared a personal journey supporting his son through cancer, offering a reflection on the separation of the body, thoughts, and feelings from one's true self. Using the metaphor of the earth's relationship to the sun, Adam illustrated that, much like the sun's independence from the earth's conditions, the soul remains undeterred by illness or mortality. Recognizing not only the physical aspects but also the emotional well-being of individuals utilizing such spaces is crucial, as caregivers can offer patients a sense of wholeness and nobility. The audience found resonance in the powerful metaphor and its implications for designing spaces that cater to the holistic needs of the youth.

Professor Du, founder, and shareholder of Tongchuang clinic, took the opportunity to share Tongchaung's mission, reinforcing the clinic's commitment to its transformative role in youth mental health. The collaborative efforts showcased during the presentation highlighted an innovative approach to psychological clinic design.

The event concluded with a sense of purpose, leaving the audience thoughtful and inspired by Robarts Spaces' thoughtful concepts and Adam's insightful reflections on the intersection of design, psychology, and personal growth.

How do we create a home that caters to the unique needs of all family members, especially our children? What if our homes were designed to be transformative in nature, evolving with us, nurturing our emotional, intellectual, and even spiritual well-being throughout our lives? What does it mean to design our home in a meaningful and intentional way?

Last week, Silvia Minciarelli, Creative Director, and Yaching Hsueh, Design Director embarked on a journey of design exploration with families and parents at the Robarts Spaces Beijing studio, seeking answers to these profound questions. Central to their discussion was the quest to understand the essence of meaningful and purposeful home design. Yaching presented six following key points that help to make a design for a private home meaningful and intentional.

1. Smart Homes for Mindful Living

Craft your living spaces to stimulate intelligence and problem-solving through modular furniture and dynamic walls.

2. Resilient Homes for Emotional Strength

Create secure, comforting spaces for reflection and autonomy, promoting emotional resilience.

3. Sensory Homes for Well-being

Enhance well-being by incorporating sensory elements like textures, aromatherapy, and soothing soundscapes.

4. Learning-ready Homes

Design multifunctional rooms that support lifelong learning for all ages.

5. Family Story homes

Curate spaces to showcase family history, fostering a strong sense of belonging.

6. Empowering Spaces

Foster children’s independence with choice-driven design, catering to neurodiverse family members’ unique sensory needs.

At the heart of this conversation lies the captivating story of Ivy and Dan, who generously shared their own home project, masterfully designed by Silvia, as a case study. Their experience serves as a vivid illustration of how an in-depth consultation with a skilled designer can help crystallize a vision of a purposefully designed home, one that not only fulfills their needs but also brings their family closer together. Ivy and Dan underscored the instrumental role played by Silvia with her professional knowledge and the talents of her design team. What was initially a dream took tangible form, breathing life into their ideal home.

The extensive and thoughtful dialogue between the family and the design team unfolded into a transformative journey. It allowed the family to gain deeper insights into one another, to explore new ideas collaboratively, and to listen more attentively to one another. Ultimately, it culminated in a home where love, laughter, and care reside.
