Given the increasing prevalence of anxiety and depression, this research aims to identify design features that enhance sense restoration, with goal supporting mental behavioral healthcare facility design. This study employed both screen-based virtual reality (VR) stimuli evaluate perceived restorativeness different interior settings. The key variables analyzed included window view access, content, materiality, room geometry. Thirty-five undergraduate graduate students assessed 16 distinct environments. Findings indicate VR presentations generally produced higher scores compared presentations, though effect varied across stimuli. Repeated-measures ANOVA revealed larger windows consistently correlated in presentation modes. Views water were rated as most restorative, followed by wooded areas. Natural materials significantly more restorative than other materials, particularly presentations. Varied ceiling designs, especially vaulted ceilings, associated evaluations flat pronounced VR. underscores potential technology simulate assess interventions, offering insights into creating effective personalized environments health treatment facilities. findings can inform evidence-based strategies for spaces, processes patient well-being.
