Ballyhaunis, Co. Mayo

Yoga Retreat, New Build

Concept Design

The client’s brief was to develop proposals for a wellbeing retreat in this rural setting. The proposed building will form the central communal facility in the heart of the self-catering retreat, providing a space to gather, reflect and meditate. The programme of spaces is limited, however the journey from outside to the main studio within is defined by a carefully orchestrated sequence of spaces of varying scales along the central axis of the building, with changing visual connections to nature, the sky, and the landscape beyond.
