Meditation Hut

Firm: Collective-Operations
Location: Aukland, New Zealand 



Situated around layered platforms, the meditation space provides an intimate environment for individual meditation sessions, where the user may move up and down the cabin with meditative freedom. The mediation hut is a quiet place conceptualized as a vertical studio. The resulting space is intimate enough for individual meditation sessions, where the user may move up and down the cabin, pausing at each platform. By ascending and descending, the user may experience different levels of sunlight or shade. Additionally, their surroundings will change, influenced by changing scents and sounds as one’s proximity to the tree canopy or the ground shifts. This guided freedom becomes a manifestation of the common body scan meditation technique in real space.
