When we talk about buildings that heal, we often picture hospitals or sanctuaries.

But what if healing begins at home?

Over the next seven weeks, we’ll be moving room by room through the home exploring how each space can teach us something about care, connection, and wellbeing.

Welcome to The Rooms We Heal In, a new series from Healing Buildings.

Each week we’ll focus on one room from the kitchen to the garden and ask:

• What does this space teach us about how we live?

• How can design support wellbeing here?

• And what would it look like to make every home a healing home?

To explore that, we’ll use the three pillars of Healing Buildings:

1. Spaces that Heal ; how we design and shape our environments to support life and wellbeing.

2. Minds that Learn ; how these spaces teach us about care, creativity, and attention.

3. Systems that Evolve ; how the places we build connect to justice, access, and ecology.

Together, they form a way of seeing the world: that buildings aren’t neutral - they teach, they heal, they include, (or they exclude).

Each Tuesday, I’ll share a reflective essay introducing the room of the week.

Then through Wednesday to Friday, we’ll explore short reflections around design, learning, and advocacy which will be practical, thoughtful, and hopeful.

This seven-week series leads toward something new:

The Healing Buildings Learning Hub, launching January 2026, a space for education, collaboration, and reimagining how design can heal.

For now, I invite you to walk with me room by room. To notice how the spaces we inhabit shape us, and how attention itself can become design.

Healing begins in the everyday. 🌿.
