In this challenging times we are advised to stay home and this Trell Well space will provide many healthy uses. For plant lovers, elders or seniors, a more garden feel space with trellis above.

We want to enjoy nature by going outdoors. But this crisis is keeping us more indoors. This idea somehow brings the Outdoors Indoors.
Criteria #3: Impact
We need to go Outdoors to exercise to strengthen our immune system and improve our mental health. This Trellis structure creates an alternative workout or garden space.
