The SACRIS IMAGO meditation cabin is situated within a forest, designed as a retreat for self-reflection and mindfulness. The cabin encourages a close connection between users and their natural surroundings, offering a space for both physical and mental exercise. The design concept focuses on immersing occupants in nature while providing shelter from the outside world, fostering an environment for introspection.

Integration with the Environment
The cabin emphasizes its relationship with the landscape, allowing for interaction between indoor and outdoor spaces. Large windows and circular glass features let in natural light and provide views of the forest, making the boundaries blur between the cabin and nature. This design helps create a sense of enclosure while enabling users to connect fully with their surroundings.

Materiality and Sensory Experience
Materials are thoughtfully chosen to enhance users' experiences. The exterior is clad with charred Maple, which gives a distinct scent to the site while retaining carbon. Inside, the cedar wood finishing on the floor and ceiling adds warmth and a pleasant aroma to the space. These material choices underline a commitment to sustainability and resonate with the natural context of the cabin.

Spatial Functionality
The layout of the cabin is designed for both solitary meditation and group activities. There are specific areas allocated for reflection and contemplation, allowing users to enjoy quiet time or connect with others. A concrete wall within the design creates a boundary between the meditation area and the outside world, offering privacy while preserving a sense of openness.

As users enter through large doors framed by a solid wall, they are greeted by the inviting warmth and texture of wood. This detail creates a home-like atmosphere, nurturing moments of peace against the backdrop of the surrounding forest.
