Located in the southern region of Tenerife, this holistic and wellness centre was designed for the Dzogchen Community to serve as a spiritual, healing, and cultural space. The architecture draws inspiration from the surrounding volcanic landscape, emphasizing the organic relationship between built forms and nature. The masterplan includes a variety of buildings for meditation, learning, community gathering, and wellness therapy, most notably the Gompa, a sacred space for spiritual practices.
The use of natural materials such as timber and volcanic stone integrates the architecture into the environment. The project is conceived to evolve through phases, adapting to the needs of its users and the terrain. Buildings are modest in height, embracing horizontality to respect the landscape and spiritual atmosphere of the site.
The intervention balances cultural expression, environmental sensitivity, and serene functionality. The architecture promotes reflection and inner peace while enabling cultural exchange. The layout includes a network of paths, courtyards, and gardens that unify the entire compound, fostering a sense of community and calm.
