HOW IT CAME TO BE

The staff needed one too.

Drag to see the transformation.

01

The Need

The Hub's staff draw on decades of combined experience identifying the challenges their clients face and working with them toward solutions. That work is demanding, and the new building offered no dedicated place to step out of it.

02

The Vision

The Hub and Nature Sacred collaborated on three Sacred Places at the new building, so that space for peace, contemplation, and healing was incorporated into every facet of the campus design from the outset. This one is for the employees.

03

The Transformation

The courtyard is nestled into an inset of the building, visible through full-length windows from inside and connected directly to the staff break room. A patio table and chairs serve lunch breaks and group gatherings, with a couple of smaller seating groupings besides, one of which includes a bubbler fountain.
