dc.description.abstractAI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: The increasing prevalence of mental illnesses, particularly depression, has prompted a growing interest in holistic approaches to well-being. However, the limited accessibility and complexity of mental health treatment contribute to the underutilization of available resources. Recognizing the importance of addressing mental health concerns, the hospitality industry has shifted its focus towards wellness and well-being, with hotels playing a crucial role in fostering overall health. This thesis explores the impact of architectural design strategies-specifically lighting design, surface finishes, and space planning-on mild depression within the context of a hotel room. Keywords: Mental Health, Mild Depression, Hospitality Industry, Architectural Design, Interior Design, Well-being, Lighting Design, Surface Finishes, Space Planningen
