Through meaningful experiences and optimising environmental and social resources, it has potential to enhance human quality of life. Tiny home zones, nested circuits for outdoor recreation and a jetty gateway were designed to enhance quality of life while staving off the decline phase depicted in Butler’s Tourism Area Life Cycle Model. The designs focus on key elements derived from the Six Factor Model of Wellbeing, the PERMA model of wellbeing and Self-Determination Theory.
