The Audiophile’s Sonic Sanctuary is a psychoacoustic therapy centre in Tower Hamlets that uses rain-generated frequencies for mental healing. By combining holistic sound therapy practices with scientific psychoacoustic research, the centre offers customised treatments for anxiety, depression, and insomnia. The building’s design incorporates acoustic research and exoskeleton strategies to create isolated therapy spaces. It aims to address the mental health epidemic among young individuals and foster a sense of hope and community.
