By considering the ways in which our physical environment can negatively or positively impact our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, trauma-informed design seeks to create spaces that evoke well-being, safety and comfort.
The design of Movement 5280 is centered around intentionally curating an environment that offers comfort and warmth, ensuring that every aspect of the space promotes a sense of safety and wellbeing. From the soothing color palette to the soft and inviting furnishings, every detail is purposefully chosen to foster a welcoming atmosphere. This project is a testament to Sentio's commitment to creating spaces that not only meet functional needs but also pay careful attention to the emotional and psychological needs of those who inhabit them.
