Klei Soul Clinic
The final design project: the Clay Art & Wellness Centre, a scheme exploring how spaces for making and moving can foster wellbeing, creativity, and community.
The design places clay at its heart both as a raw material and as a metaphor for transformation. On the ground floor, robust red brick walls frame messy, communal pottery workshops, reflecting clay’s solidity in its earliest form. As users move upward, the materiality shifts to lighter timber slats and softer finishes, creating an atmosphere suited to yoga, pilates, and quiet therapy. This spatial journey mirrors clay’s own process: from raw and unformed to refined, moulded, and purposeful.

A closer look.
More than just a centre for art, the project is a study in how architecture can support wellness through process rather than product. Courtyards and thresholds punctuate the building, offering pauses for reflection between moments of intensity and stillness.
