I designed Ashrams for the Art of Living in Pune, Maharashtra, and Dhule, Gujarat, focusing on creating spaces for spiritual growth and personal development. Working closely with the organization, I considered the layout of meditation halls, accommodations, dining facilities, recreational areas, and gardens.The Ashrams were designed to provide a serene and harmonious environment, encouraging meditation, yoga, and other spiritual practices. I carefully planned the architecture and aesthetics to foster tranquility and a peaceful atmosphere. Integration with the surrounding natural environment was also prioritized, incorporating sustainable design principles and practices such as renewable materials, energy efficiency, and water conservation.Collaborating with the Art of Living organization and their experts was essential to ensure that the designs aligned with their vision and goals. We maintained open communication, held feedback sessions, and conducted site visits to create Ashrams that reflected the organization's philosophy and facilitated personal growth and spiritual exploration.Designing these Ashrams was a rewarding experience, as it allowed me to contribute to the creation of spaces that nurtured inner peace and well-being.
