AYM Yoga School

The building volume was designed to functionally meet the needs of the school in a minimalistic way, without taking the attention from the landscape.

Type: Rural School

Location: Tapovan, Rishikesh

Site Area: :1500 sqm

Status: Completed 2013


We were aiming towards building architecture to speak to the spiritual and natural essence of yoga by creating elegant material relationships and crisp aesthetics.While working on the concepts, we realised that the areas intended for seclusion and meditation are a good example of places that are concerned with more ambient and tonal features.



Effectively, areas designed for meditation are enclosed to produce an environment that is incredibly private. In other words, the ultimate goal is for the architectural space to create a mental space that is completely integrated with the body, mind, and architecture. The materials used were vernacular and were treated in varied manner to create balance and overall cohesivity.



Overall,the project seems extremely thoughtful of its surroundings, as the building volume was designed to functionally meet the needs of the school in a minimalistic way, without taking the attention from the landscape.
