meditation halls
Rooms for stillness
Meditation halls are spaces designed for contemplative practice, typically featuring minimal furnishings and a quiet atmosphere conducive to focused attention.
They appear in Buddhist temples, yoga centers, and secular retreat facilities.
The architecture often emphasizes simplicity and natural light: The meditation hall held cushions arranged in neat rows facing the altar.
