THE EQUILIBRIUM

Vale De Moses Meditation Cabin Competition

The Equilibrium forges a closer bond and harmony between the user and their environment. Helping the user to find peace and spiritual balance within themselves as reflected in the architecture. It’s compactness allows the user to feel like the space is theirs, while remaining spacious enough to allow two programs; meditation, and experiencing one of Vale de Moses’ many healing treatments.

The Equilibrium aims to borrow elements of nature to create a safe healing space that is comforting and peaceful. Allowing the user to imagine sitting on the forest floor under a canopy of trees with light streaming through, listening to the soft tinkle of a nearby stream while in Equilibrium.

Designed to be easily deconstructed and moved, the Equilibrium uses prefab wood panels with a shallow tripod foundation similar to a tent to minimise soil damage while still being secure and strong enough to hold the structure.
