Eco-Therapy at the Hill House:
The concept of shinrin-yoku (forest bathing or forest therapy) was developed in Japan in the 1980’s. People who spend time in natural settings, particularly under the canopies of trees, will experience positive emotional, physiological, and psychological effects.

Happy birthday Elaina! Elaina joined our team a year ago as a recent graduate from Keene State College with a BS in Architecture and a minor in Construction Management. She first joined kcs ARCHITECTS as an intern and has turned that first internship into full-time career in architecture. When Elaina was introduced to ksc ARCHITECTS, she immediately found that kcs had designed some of her favorite places in Keene–like Brewbakers, where she went to study almost daily, and MoCo arts, which she had claimed as her ‘favorite building in Keene’ as a freshman.

A little about the project:
