The 450sqm space is comprised of a series of free-form yoga pods – two public and two private pods with a lobby area and luxury bathrooms integrated seamlessly into the layout.

Using their signature geometries, Enter Projects Asia facilitated the fusion of 3D technologies with local Thai craftsmanship to bring nature to an urban context. All elements of the project were made from natural, local materials: Thai hardwood, rattan, palm leaves and local black slate.
