Cave-Like Meditation Spaces

StudioX4 Unveils a New Meditation Space Design in Taipei

Contemporary meditation space design can be tricky as architects have to think through a number of aesthetic and functional needs. For example, adjustable lighting sources are essential for meditation, yoga, and other mindfulness practices as they help facilitators establish a calm and serene atmosphere.

A new meditation space design popped up in a residential building in Taipei. The space was overhauled by local design company StudioX4. The practice wanted to build a "quiet sanctuary" for urban citizens. The interior is characterized by a semi-circular space that evokes a cave-like shape because the ceiling and walls flow into each other. Additionally, the space features "a dark, canopy-like ceiling and an LED-lit oculus" which enhances the meditation experience.
