The carpets throughout the health centre are lush and beautifully patterned, replicating falling leaves on a forest floor as found in nature - the design principle, biomimicry, which means to mimic nature, was used in the design of the textile pattern itself.
We find harmony and a greater sense of awareness when exposed to natural environments. Studies show that nature can accelerate the healing process mentally, physically and emotionally. Additionally, studies have proven that exposing patients to natural elements results in a calming effect, thereby reducing stress and allowing patients to focus on healing.
By incorporating the concept of nature underfoot, the carpet strives to create a comfortable and soothing surrounding, while providing patients with acoustical privacy and a non-disruptive environment. From soothing colours of wildflowers to the unobtrusive patterns found on a
wooded path, designs are created with nature and healing in mind.

As another way in which to infiltrate the symbols of sacred geometry into the health centre , the overall carpet floor layout has been designed to do just this.
