Expansion of glamping “Louže“ - Yoga pavilion

Idea projektu

The goal was to create a simply demountable recreational object or group of objects in the area of Dlouhý Újezd. The complex consists of three residential cabins and four pavilions. Three of them designed by my colleagues and one by myself. With this in mind, I designed Yoga Pavilion, a space for connection - both with nature and with oneself. The pavilion follows the curves of the landscape and slowly opens to light and views.

Popis projektu

Following the contours of the terrain, the pavilion gently weaves through its surroundings, gradually opening to views and open space. This gesture creates not only a physical path but also a connection of the outer world (nature) with the inner world (of the self).
In elevation, the form takes inspiration from the human spine - symbolizing strength, balance, and the central axis of movement and energy in the body. Much like the spine supports the human form, the structure aligns with the body’s natural rhythms. The layout of the floor plan is inspired by the sequence of poses from Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation), a dynamic and meditative flow between tension and release.
Materially, the pavilion is designed to feel light and modest, allowing it to blend naturally into its surroundings, while still being structurally stable and durable.

Technické informace

The structure is designed for easy assembly and disassembly, using a dry construction system with minimal impact on the site. The foundation consists of ground screws. The floor is built from impregnated wooden beams and grating, topped with larch decking.
Vertical supports are a combination of timber posts and steel tension rods, aiming for structural stability with a lightweight feel. The roof features standing seam metal sheeting for durability and weather resistance.
All materials were selected for their natural appearance, simplicity, and compatibility with the forest environment.
