Even the unenlightened person sometimes wants to get comfortable on the floor of his apartment, turn up something from the Dead Can Dance repertoire, and plunge into the depths of his consciousness.
The American architects decided to go further in their quest for enlightenment and built a home for meditation and communion with nature. Today in the pages of the portal A beautiful country house We’re going to tell you about Buddhist Retreat, a home in Capitol Reef National Park.
The project is certainly a creation of human thought, but it remains a manifestation of crystal clear naturalness. Most building materials are a gift from the elements. For example, the walls of the house are partially decorated with a stone ball enclosed in a metal grid. This way they were able to solve a very important problem: to escape the desert heat during the day and keep the warm air in at night.
All rooms of the house have no dividers, the single space is divided into zones. No psychological barriers or distractions here. The living room has an unusual fireplace suspended above the floor. Spiral staircase smooths out the kitchen’s sleek lines. Perhaps one of the most striking elements of decor.
The windows at Buddhist Retreat are positioned to let in as much cool air as possible and expose the owners to the most picturesque parts of the national park. Looking into them, one gets the impression that consciousness leaves the limits of the body and strives towards the universe.
