Retreat – Challenge to design a rejuvenating retreat
Busy city-life
In today’s fast-paced society; everything we need is available at our disposal at any time of the day. Time, money, and progress, everything seems to be right where we are. Ranging from large metropolitan cities to small towns, this rush of life is the same in most places.
The kind of rush that begins on Monday and ends on Friday. Leaving a small gap of a weekend to get our head straight for the next week to come. And this is by far the routine of most of the people we meet in our life. Everyone is living day after day and weekend after weekend. Let that be for a job or education or any other endeavour. Everything is weaving its way into this rush of time. Behaviour like this has become our newly-found reality all around the world. A kind of reality where most of these things bring us prosperity and growth, as we beckon our journey of life.
But when our lives are ticking by the clock, where is this rush leading us and what is it that we really need?
Brief of the Competition
How will one define a space of pause and revival? Space where one feels re-energized and revived to go back when leaving.
Brief: This challenge aims to design a retreat centre that helps in disconnecting people from their busy city life and connects them with nature, by offering relaxation and luxury spaces that would help them rewind.
Challenge is to showcase a strong connection with its context and its natural flora fauna while using its natural abundance to create a relaxing environment.
The idea of a retreat varies according to every single person but what remains constant is the concept of spaces that offer luxury and comfort while giving the serene and calm environment to experience the sheer feeling of calm.
