Meditation Space Overlooking Sunset Views with Roof Covering

Project in-detail

A meditation space with expansive sunset views and thoughtful roof covering creates an inviting environment for both solitary reflection and communal gatherings.
5 key facts about this project
01
Meditation space designed to encourage mindfulness and reflection.
02
Huts oriented to maximize sunset views for a calming atmosphere.
03
Roof covering provides shelter while promoting outdoor connectivity.
04
Multi-purpose areas allow flexibility for various communal activities.
05
Natural light integration enhances the comfort and ambiance throughout the day.

The design is situated in a tranquil environment that highlights its purpose as a multifunctional space for both solitary reflection and group interaction. The concept focuses on a strong connection with nature, creating a setting where users can easily move between personal and communal experiences. The arrangement of spaces allows for a variety of activities, providing both practicality and visual appeal.

Conceptual Framework

The idea behind the design begins with the image of a "blank canvas," which represents potential and creativity. This notion shapes the layout, creating areas intended for both socializing and personal peace. The project includes a Multi-Purpose Space, Kitchen, and Dining area, allowing for flexible use. Together, these elements foster connections among people while catering to individual needs.

Spatial Arrangement

At the heart of the design is a Meditation Space, which emphasizes personal well-being. This area is intended for quiet contemplation, acting as a counterpoint to the interactive spaces. The design also features transitional spaces like the Terrace with Roof Covering. These areas encourage outdoor activity while providing shelter and comfort, inviting users to engage with the natural environment.

Natural Integration

The dispersed huts throughout the site reflect careful planning. Each hut is positioned to capture natural light and invite scenic views, especially beautiful sunsets. This arrangement enhances the visual experience and promotes a sense of calm. Open spaces are thoughtfully integrated, contributing to the peaceful atmosphere surrounding the site.

Temporal Dynamics

Attention is given to the relationship between light and space, as shown in the consideration of shadows throughout the day. This aspect illustrates how sunlight affects the mood and function of various areas. The gentle changes in light enhance the ambiance, supporting the comfort and well-being of those who gather in these spaces.

Every detail contributes to a sense of place. The project creates layered experiences, inviting users to connect with the landscape. Clean lines and thoughtful transitions lead to an environment that emphasizes comfort and calm, enhancing the overall experience for each individual.
