Design Spaces That Heal,
Inspire, and Connect
We partner with visionaries, wellness leaders, and land stewards to create environments that nurture people, the land, and the soul of your space.
Your Space can Do More Than Just Exist
Whether you are creating a retreat, a wellness practice, or stewarding land you deeply care for, the environment around you is constantly shaping experience, energy, and outcomes.
Spaces that lack intention—through misaligned layouts, unhealthy materials, or a disconnection from the land—can quietly drain vitality, limit healing, and dilute transformation. Even the most beautiful places can feel incomplete when they are not in harmony with nature, the people they serve, and the spirit of place.
What we offer
ANIMA works at the intersection of architecture, land, and energy. We create environments that breathe with life and intention. By integrating holistic architectural design, Building Biology, and energetic alignment, we transform spaces into supportive, regenerative ecosystems. We listen to the site, assess environmental and energetic conditions, and design spaces that support both human well-being and ecological harmony. Each project is guided by nature, shaped by science, and informed by the unique spirit of place. The result is a place that feels grounded, alive, and deeply aligned—where your work, your guests, and the land itself can thrive, and your space can fully support healing, transformation, and belonging
spaces designed to deeply support rest and transformation invite guests into richer, more meaningful experiences
Who do we work with
About us
Ana Gascon Marco
Guided by a vision of healing architecture, Ana followed a path of discovery into ancient healing traditions, allowing this wisdom to inform how spaces are designed, felt, and lived in. As an architect and holistic designer, her approach bridges architecture, interior design, and energetic awareness, weaving together science, nature, and intuition to create environments that support well-being at every level. Ana’s work is guided by a deep listening—to people, to place, and to the unseen forces that shape how spaces feel, heal, and sustain life. Rooted in the belief that spaces are living systems, Ana works with natural rhythms, and the soul of place to restore harmony between the built environment, the body, and the land. Ana is a licensed architect with the Ontario Association of Architects (OAA), a member of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC), and a Certified Passive House Designer (CPHD). A devoted advocate for sustainable and conscious design, she integrates Low Carbon, Net Zero, and Passive House principles with a deep respect for the Earth and all beings on it.
Our Approach
By blending Building Biology and Passive House principles with an awareness of subtle environmental energies, we design architecture and interiors that nurture both body and spirit. The result is a space that not only functions beautifully, but also feels alive—balanced, uplifting, and restorative.
Listening to the Land
Understanding the site as a living being, through energy mapping, orientation, and elemental balance
Healing Through Materials
Choosing natural, non-toxic, and energetically alive materials that breathe and support vitality
Designing Flow and Form
Using proportion, geometry, and color as healing forces that shape emotion and energy
Building for Well-being
Integrating Building Biology and Passive House principles for spaces that sustain health and comfort
Crafting Atmosphere
Creating environments where light, sound, and air form a sensory harmony that nurtures the soul
