Upon entering the first floor, visitors are greeted by an atmosphere designed for relaxation, featuring soothing music and media art that evokes natural landscapes. The space also provides opportunities for personality diagnostics through interactive devices. These machines pose questions, such as "Initiate conversation by greeting someone you first meet," to which participants respond on a scale. Based on the answers, the system offers insights into personality types.

By transforming a historical building into a modern wellness center, the company offers a tangible way for the public to explore and understand their emotional states in a comfortable and engaging environment.
