Entry Description

CURE is a wellness retreat in Port Royal’s fragile cypress wetlands, designed as a sanctuary for patients with chronic phobias. Floating within a 12-foot ecological window, its fragmented pavilions respect tree canopies, understory plants, and migratory birds while guiding patients through stages of healing. Elevated walkways, therapy pods, and communal spaces frame views of water and foliage, blending architecture with nature. Built from timber and steel, CURE is an empathetic, restorative environment where healing and ecology coexist.
