Project Overview

A modular garden studio designed as a nature-connected workspace and meditation sanctuary, integrating biophilic principles through living green walls, natural ventilation, and carefully composed interior atmospheres.

The concept responds to the client's desire for a calm home office environment that supports focus and wellbeing—featuring abundant natural light, organic materials, and direct visual connection to the surrounding garden landscape.

Interior planning balances functional workspace requirements with restorative design elements, creating a flexible environment suitable for concentrated work, yoga practice, and quiet contemplation throughout the day.

Interior with natural light

Design Approach

Living Green Walls

Integrated vertical planting systems bringing nature directly into the interior workspace, improving air quality and creating visual connection to natural growth cycles.

Natural Ventilation

Carefully positioned openable glazing and roof vents creating cross-ventilation and passive cooling while maintaining acoustic comfort for focused work.

Daylight Strategy

North-facing skylights and large garden-facing windows providing consistent natural illumination without harsh glare, supporting circadian rhythms and reducing energy use.

Material Warmth

Natural timber surfaces, cork flooring, and organic textiles creating tactile warmth and acoustic absorption for a calm, restorative atmosphere.
