Closed, semi-enclosed, and open areas throughout all levels are dedicated to meditation and yoga practices.
Fronting the street, each apartment and hotel suite is graced with expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, inviting natural light and fluidly connecting interiors to outdoor terraces and intimate private gardens, fostering a seamless dialogue with nature.
The rear façade is animated by an irregular mosaic of protruding window blocks, thoughtfully arranged to correspond with the varied functions of the interior spaces, creating a dynamic interplay of light, shadow, and form.
The meditation philosophy is deeply embedded in the design of both the residences and the hotel, creating a holistic experience for all occupants.
Whether practicing yoga or not, the building enhances residents' lifestyle and well-being through warm, serene interiors, the use of eco-friendly materials, and lush greenery on the terraces and surrounding the structure, providing a tranquil oasis within the urban environment.
