Kundalini Yoga Center - Garden yoga pavilion with additional functions

January 11, 2024

Mili Mlodzi Ludzie designed a 65 m² yoga practice space within the garden of a private residence in Przeźmierowo, near Poznań in Poland.


The larger of the two designed buildings is a pavilion dedicated to yoga. Its structure consists of two parts: a taller one with a practice room and a lower one with an entrance and a vestibule that combines the functions of a kitchen annex and a dressing room, along with a toilet and a shower. The smaller, similar building accommodates a sauna, a small massage room, and a sleeping loft, with an outdoor shower situated between the two structures.



The architectural design of the Kundalini Yoga Center in Przeźmierowo is a result of our consideration for the existing tree cover on the site, the context of the distinctive neighboring house, and adherence to principles of circular economy. Thanks to the use of ground screws, the foundation of the buildings minimally impacts the root system of the trees. The irregular and segmented structure reduces the need for tree removal. To prevent excessive shading of its interiors, it slopes away from the adjacent house. The pronounced features of the house's eaves and roof shapes find reflection in the composition of the pavilion's roofs. These design choices ensure that the overall architectural arrangement presents a distinct appearance from every viewpoint. Internally, the focus is solely on the garden greenery, as private areas of the property are shielded from the view of the Center's visitors. Notably, a unique framing element is the roof window in the smaller building, offering a view of the intertwining pine trunks above. In both buildings, roof windows contribute not only to setting the mood but also enable effective ventilation.



To uphold environmental consciousness, the PIR panels used as thermal insulation for the building, as well as the wooden façade cladding (reclaimed from floorboard production and fired on-site), were repurposed to avoid becoming industrial waste. A section of the trunk from the only cut-down pine tree serves as an external seating element for guests at the Center.

Building on What's Already There As this year's LIV Hospitality Design Awards winners settle into the wider conversation, certain patterns become difficult to ignore. Properties built for warm-climate escape recur across the list. Sustainability surfaces less as a stated goal than as a working method. And several of the strongest projects are renovations rather than new builds. Read together, the winners point toward where hospitality design is heading as the year continues. Designed for the Season Several of this year's winners speak directly to the season ahead. Kona Village , on Hawaii's Big Island, reimagines an 81-acre resort around the history of Kaupulehu, led by Greg Warner and Mike McCabe of Walker Warner. The rebuilt property includes 150 traditional guest hale, a new spa, and five restaurants and bars—two of which carry over from the original resort. Rather than a wholesale reinvention, the project reads as a continuation: a property rebuilt around what made the original site significant in the first place.
