“Space for body and mind” is the central theme
for all developments in Hoboken. Inspiration
source is the healing environment from the
medical and health care sector, where healing
environment is considered as a sum of different
aspects, which in unison create a feeling of well-
being and aid in stress reduction, thus stimula-
ting the natural healing capacity of the patients.
In Hoboken the theme “space for body and
mind” is applied in a wider context. It is applied
in the design of buildings, the sustainable envi-
ronment and in the well-being of all people that
visit, live, work and recreate in the area.
