### Project Overview
The spiritual retreat "OM" is located along the Baltic Sea coast in Latvia, designed to foster spiritual growth and community connection while integrating into the natural setting. The structure comprises four triangular volumes that serve various functions, including bedrooms, a living area, and a yoga lounge. This spatial organization supports a meditative atmosphere while encouraging communal interactions among users.

### Spatial Configuration and User Experience
The triangular form serves both aesthetic and functional purposes, symbolizing a connection to nature and the spiritual journey. Each volume features expansive glass facades that maximize natural light and provide views of the surrounding landscape. The layout incorporates two principal axes: one facilitating movement between the bedrooms and yoga lounge, and another aligned with views of the Baltic Sea, offering orientation and enhancing the user experience. Exterior decks extend living spaces outdoors, allowing interactions with the serene environment.

### Materiality and Sustainability
Material choices reflect a commitment to sustainability and local context. Structural insulated panels (SIPs) are employed for their thermal efficiency, while Scots pine, used for both cladding and structural elements, establishes a strong connection to the nearby woodlands. The design utilizes a waterproof membrane to counter coastal weather, and large, glazed windows enhance the indoor environment by blurring the boundaries between the interior and exterior. The project emphasizes minimal environmental impact through local material sourcing and careful site positioning, preserving existing trees and integrating harmoniously with the landscape.
