Loch Awe Yoga Retreat

Overview

A new yoga studio and accommodation block is proposed in the scenic landscape along Loch Awe. The yoga studio is built into the hill as a response to the landscape and to provide a studio suitable for yoga. An accompanying proposal provides accommodation for the centre, with individual guest rooms. As both privacy and views were important aspects, the elevations fold to frame in the surrounding views and shielding the rooms from overlooking.
