Ife’s first project of her final year is an eco-therapy center situated by the banks of the River Leven in the Lake District. The design addresses the region's need for sustainability while respecting its architectural heritage, resulting in a cohesive yet innovative solution.
Verdis Reflections seeks to forge a profound connection between visitors and the natural environment, offering therapeutic programs, social spaces, and observational areas that enhance the restorative power of the surrounding landscape. Featuring a greenhouse, a water therapy space, meditation spaces and more, the design is thoughtfully crafted to harmonize with its setting, seamlessly blending local Lake District architectural traditions with contemporary sustainability principles, all while preserving the area’s natural beauty.
