One Daytona, the residential lobby as a new meeting and leisure center
Daytona Beach, Florida, USA.
Savater defines ETHICS as the "rational attempt to find out how to live better.” This thought must be extended to the way we think and design residential spaces and their amenities, for they too must provide a safe and inspiring ambiance for growth, work, and socialization.
The Clubhouse as the focal point of residential living, is a space that deserves to be rethought, reinvented, and restarted from a perspective where balance sets its leading role and human equilibrium is the fundamental superior purpose.
We develop a strategy of action on four basic superior purposes of the human being, which we call the "four basic dimensions of well-being“:
THE PHYSICAL, THE MENTAL, THE EMOTIONAL, THE SPIRITUAL
THE PHYSICAL
It deals with body care, and seeks to generate spaces for physical activity, good nutrition, rest and health.
THE MENTAL
It deals with the care of the mind, and the generation of spaces for mental cleansing activities such as reading, contemplation, relaxation and contact with nature.
THE EMOTIONAL
It deals with our emotions, our affections and our interrelationship with others; and it seeks to provide the necessary space for meeting activities, family and social enjoyment, musical enjoyment, personal enjoyment and quality time with others.
THE SPIRITUAL
It deals with our inner being, our inner balance and spiritual beliefs; it seeks to generate spaces for prayer, meditation or introspection.
We believe that design provides a substantial contribution in the search of these four superior human purposes for overall well-being; this is by means of the qualification of the diverse environments, the stimulation of the senses, and the centralization of the human being in each one of the criteria of design implemented in the conceptualization and development of the project.
Our practice starts from the qualification of the experience from the four basic dimensions of well-being; defining then two perspectives of approach; from the design of the conscious, tangible and palpable elements; to the conceptualization and implementation of the intangible and impalpable elements that generate perceptive value to the project.
The union of the two perspectives of approach and the four basic dimensions for well-being set the path for the design strategies that we understand as "ethical living“, and that we extrapolate to the Clubhouse.
