5 key facts about this project
## Project Overview
The "Body Mind Spirit" design project is situated in a densely wooded area, characterized by a focus on eco-tourism and a nature-centric living experience. The intent of the project is to create a living environment that promotes holistic well-being through the integration of architectural design with natural landscapes. Drawing inspiration from yoga and spirituality, the concept emphasizes the interconnectedness of the Body, Mind, and Spirit, represented by an equilateral triangle, and aims to foster balance between the individual and their surroundings.
## Architecture and Design Strategy
### Material Selection
The architectural approach prioritizes sustainability through the use of locally sourced wood, which minimizes carbon emissions and supports bio-climatic design principles. A green roof not only provides insulation but also enhances biodiversity, allowing the structure to blend with its natural context. The incorporation of low-impact glass windows is strategically designed to optimize natural light while maintaining energy efficiency. Furthermore, resilient composite materials contribute to the durability and environmental responsiveness of the building.
### Spatial Configuration
The innovative sloped design of the structure features distinct triangular sections that facilitate both aesthetic appeal and functional organization. Varied internal spaces are articulated through interconnected floor plans, encouraging fluid movement between communal and private areas. The design accommodates specific functions that support well-being, including designated spaces for yoga and meditation, ultimately reflecting a commitment to the mental and spiritual health of its occupants. The integration of the structure with the landscape is intentional, incorporating the site's topography to create a cohesive relationship with the surrounding environment.
The project also includes practical sustainability features such as a rainwater collection system and filtration tanks, emphasizing a commitment to responsible living and ecological awareness while engaging inhabitants in the preservation of local flora and fauna.
