The concept is not bounded with one spot at the map of the forest. Placed in different locations it brings up the essence of the place and shows variety of its beauty in different seasons and time of the day. Every single cabin is special depending on location so that meditation-stay is unique and unrepeatable. Big glazing of the bedroom which simultaneously is a contemplation room, divides simple form of cabin into two parts: zone of meditation and zone of basic human needs. The concept is based on deep relaxation techniques where the architecture becomes a guide on the way to reach mindfulness. Focusing on each of the human senses, interior of the cabin prepares the visitor to enjoy beauty of the nature and to unite with the purity of exterior.
