Situated in India, the Meditation Gazebo designed by STUDIOARO stands as a tribute to tradition and nature. Lead Architect Aroty Panyang envisioned a structure that not only complements the modern home but also pays homage to the family’s heritage.

Honoring the Past

The project emerged from a desire to fill the void left by the demolition of the family’s traditional holiday home. As a symbol of reverence for the past, the bamboo gazebo was crafted adjacent to the new modern residence. Its ornate design contrasts the minimalist aesthetic of the main house, adding depth and character to the landscape.

Artistry in Bamboo

Crafted from various types of bamboo and cane, the gazebo’s design showcases intricate arches and ring beams, providing both strength and visual appeal. Bambusa balcooa and Bambusa tulda were meticulously selected for their flexibility and durability, while cane was integrated for finishing touches. The structure’s three openings and improvised skylight ensure ample light and ventilation, enhancing the overall experience.

Sustainable Construction

In India, sourcing high-quality bamboo treated with natural salts is crucial for building lasting structures. STUDIOARO’s commitment to longevity led them to harvest and treat their bamboo, ensuring the gazebo’s durability for decades to come. By preserving tradition through sustainable practices, the team exemplifies their dedication to craftsmanship and client satisfaction.

Organic Elegance

The result is a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity, showcasing the organic beauty of bamboo. Beyond its structural integrity, the gazebo exudes a unique charm that uplifts and inspires. Its intricate design evokes a sense of wonder, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in its beauty and serenity.

A Testament to Bamboo’s Versatility

For STUDIOARO, the Meditation Gazebo serves as a testament to bamboo’s versatility and timeless allure. By harnessing nature’s bounty, they’ve created a space that transcends its physical form, offering a sanctuary for reflection and connection with the natural world. In every arch and lattice, the gazebo tells a story of tradition, craftsmanship, and the enduring beauty of bamboo.
