Geometry in Design
Dakini Space Alchemy created the Moonee Ponds MindBody Health Centre:
Consulting on design, features, materials, colour and objects. Dakini’s design process resulted in the achievement of the following unique aims and objectives featured in the design for this centre.
Creating a ‘spirit place’ – this is the essence of the health centre, necessary to bring alive its spirit
- To design a building which resonates a healing energetic field as a result appropriate for a health centre that the client should experience the beginnings of healing from the moment they step onto the site and into the building
- To design in accordance with the Geomancy; or earth energies of the site
- To gain an understanding of, and relationship to the site and the naturally existing energies
Creating a ‘sacred space’
Creating the design of the centre in accordance with Sacred Geometry and Feng Shui principles
- To design a layout which flows with the natural universal flow and the resulting forms that arise from this
- To advise the best position of rooms, services and layout appropriate to the Traditional Feng Shui Flying Star Chart of the newly renovated building.
- To advise on fixtures, finishes, artwork, furniture, lighting, colours, materials and textures which are appropriate to the resulting design
- To commission artists & sculptors to create site specific features to embody the sacred geometry physically; for example via the glass art windows and the water feature
- To conceal geometry design elements into the resulting finishes and fixtures to raise conscious awareness of it via the subconscious ; for example the carpet design
Creating a ‘healing /healthy space’
- To conduct a Sick Building Audit to ensure the building biology is sound and the healthiest it can be.
- To ensure the most green building efficiencies are implemented where possible.
- To eliminate as much as possible the affect of unhealthy and toxic substances such as those emitted by electro magnetic field (EMF) and volatile organic compounds (VOC)
- To only use products in the centre that are ‘environmentally sensitive’
Creating a ‘beautiful space’
From an architectural and design perspective, the aesthetics of everything featured in the centre exudes a certain beauty and awe-inspiring quality
- The carpets are lush and beautifully patterned, replicating falling leaves on a forest floor as found in nature
- The waiting room feature light fitting is inspired by orbs and spheres of light which replicate the moon and planets.
- The glasswork incorporates sacred geometry designs and uses metallic paint technology to allow the rainbow of colour effect to be visually captivating.
- Another feature light fitting is inspired by the white dove that was living and nesting in the rafters of the cathedral ceilings.
- The marble incorporates semi-precious labradorite stone and fossilised nautilus shells which are strategically lit to enhance the lustre of the material.
- The water feature also incorporates labradorite marble enclosed in a stunning amethyst cave style of design.
