Project idea

The development trends of modern cities have little predisposition for the availability of compact recreational spaces for residents, “crushing” people with concrete and glass.
Based on this, the project's objective is to create a recreational space integrated into the urban environment using underground space and design hidden from urban factors. To solve this problem, an analysis of recreation areas in urban environments was carried out in order to integrate them into the project.

Project description

When designing this structure, urban space was used without much interference with the environment and the minimum height of the structure (above ground level).
Several such complexes located close to each other can form strong bonds with each other, which can provide people with the opportunity to share positive experiences and meditation techniques with each other. This will create a stable community of people of interest, which can help more people get a new hobby and restore their spiritual health.
A distinctive feature of the towers is the breakthrough of the glass roof of the structure, which is located at ground level. This decision was made to attract the attention of passers-by and a possible subsequent increase in visitors to the facility.

Technical information

An artificial structural rock containing towers was installed in the center of the concrete hexagonal structure, some of the glass towers have cavities with water circulating inside.
