Meditation tower

The Meditation Tower in Tanaf was conceived as a monolithic retreat for contemplation and communal gathering. Designed in rammed earth and finished with plaster, the project explores the relationship between rigid form and dynamic spatial experience. Its plan is generated through a single continuous line, creating compressions, expansions, and shifting orientations that interact with varying ceiling heights to produce surprising spatial moments. Though externally austere, the interior unfolds as a fluid and meditative journey shaped by light and movement. At its base, an elevated platform offers a communal space for sitting and gathering. The project was developed for the Kaira Looro Competition.
