"Best Interior Diploma 2023/2025".
More and more young people are feeling overwhelmed by the world around them. New technologies largely contribute to this. We forget to stop for a while and appreciate what we have. We need a place where we can calm down and relax, where a return to nature is promoted.

The main idea of the project is to create a space where one can escape from everyday life, relax, unwind and stay for a while. The facility has three rooms for yoga classes, rooms designed for meditation, a tea room and bookstore, a garden for meditation and a store with yoga products. The interior of the facility is made of noble materials such as wood, linen and marble. The color scheme of the rooms is intended to have a relaxing and calming effect, so shades of beige, wood and white predominate, which allude to the colors of the earth. The facility is a self-sufficient building - it uses technologies that allow it to draw water and electricity from nature without destroying it. The interior of the building, through its material shapes and finishes, refers to the living nature that permeates all the time. The project uses a lot of greenery to influence the well-being of the users.

The Holistic Center is a place where you can heal your body and mind, attend yoga and meditation classes, as well as talk to a psychologist, psychiatrist or just drink tea and read a book. Here you can learn all about holism and yoga. "Body and spirit instructors" are available to help. The exhibition element is a showroom store with things needed for yoga (like mats, clothes, cosmetics). The building's intricate entrance invites you in.

First we see, on the right, a tea room and bookstore, opposite a store and rooms for yoga classes, on the left a garden for meditation. The reception desk and information desk are to the left of the entrance. The rounded shapes allude to nature and its permeation. Snowy white and light wood mix to create interesting but not overwhelming formations in the interior. At the reception desk, in addition to signing up for classes, you can also deposit your phone or any other device you wish to disconnect from for the time being. The space built in the teahouse and bookstore is meant to relate to nature. The wooden screens, thanks to their irregular shapes and placement, give the impression of being alive. There is a bar in the middle, quite a lot of seating, both open and more private, conducive to conversations between guests and the center's staff. The interior is filled with a neutral color scheme, which is also interspersed in the following rooms. Beiges, whites and grays dominate. The materials - wood, marble and linen - are meant to influence guests' mental and physical comfort.

The meditation garden was created for users of the facility who would like to meditate among nature and learn the basics of meditation. They can feel like a forest here. Speakers set up throughout the garden play sounds and sounds of nature, such as birdsong or the sound of trees. The facility's roof, made of wooden stakes and perovskites in the shape of the Flower of Life, is meant to influence the good energy of the place.
