It is designed as a space for meditation. A wooden door, a window looking toward the skyline, and zenithal lighting are the three elements that give the refuge the human scale. Inside, the roof is covered with a plexiglass window, allowing people to sit under the skylight, even when it’s raining. The plexiglass window is slightly raised, allowing rain water to drop down along the west wall and smoke to come out of the roof when people make a fire inside.
