LAYERS

Layers is a small meditation center that draws on meditative practices (acceptance, introspection, enlightenment, and stability). The center consists of three levels connected by three outer stairs that spiral around the structure. The design is focused on how the quality of light and the path of circulation reflects meditation. Light filters in through a single skylight at the top level.
