ROOTS
A WELLNESS SPACE BRIDGING CULTURE AND NATURE
Roots: A Wellness Space Bridging Culture and Nature is a thoughtfully designed wellness retreat that harmoniously integrates biophilic principles with chakra healing. Inspired by the natural surroundings of Nashik (India) and traditional Indian practices, the retreat features seven unique spaces, each corresponding to one of the chakras, promoting physical, emotional, and mental well-being. With a focus on sustainable materials, custom-designed tiles, and sensory experiences, the retreat aims to create a transformative space where guests can connect with nature, heal, and find balance.
The project highlights the use of custom handmade tiles crafted from local clay, with clay as the central focus material. Inspired by the chakras, these tiles are thoughtfully integrated throughout the retreat, embodying the themes of connection and healing while enhancing the sensory and spiritual experience of the spaces.
