Lacustrine Serenity: A Place for Wellness

This project,situated in Mandu, serves as a center for wellness, where water is a major tool used for the wellbeing of an individual. Being near a water body induces a meditative state in one’s mind. From this grew the idea of creating a sense of wonder through water, by engaging with water at different levels. Thereby creating fully and partly submerged spaces in the lake, and dividing the lake into two parts, one where water is filled throughout the year and the other one which can only be accessed during summer when the water level decreases.
