Maya Meditation Garden and Hotel

2016
Maya Meditation Garden is a hotel complex consisting of five volumes, positioned in two levels across and along the stream. Reconstruction presupposes to preserve stonewalls of the old Stone Barn building and to use two of them in the facade of the complex and two others in the interior. The new volume of the building is considerably larger than the old one, but due to the finishing with mirror panels, it merges almost completely with the surrounding landscape and the walls of the old Stone Barn with arc over the stream remain a dominant in the center of the composition. It makes the complex immerse in the surrounding landscape. It doesn't affect the skyline almost completely: it reflects in their walls, and only separate rustic triangular-styled niches of wooden faces make a hint of the building appearance, illustrating the principle of Maya/Illusion itself.​
