Contemplative Centre

Bélapátfalva, Hungary 2018

The idea of the project is to respect the historical context of the site and its surrounding nature. Micropile foundations elevate a light timber structure above the ancient walls of the Cistercian monastery and therefore protects their preserved ruins. The Contemplative centre serves as a refuge for people overwhelmed by today's hasty lifestyle. The wooden materials support the atmosphere for meditation and reconnection with nature.
