This is a proposal for a yoga school to explore how architecture may bring stability and peace to the mind and body. This courtyard scheme transitions from the public realm of the High Street, to the semi-private studio school, served by threshold courtyard spaces, and finally to the private accommodation of the yoga trainees. Opposite forces bring balance to the individual, as tension between the horizontal and vertical, the symmetrical and asymmetrical, and the solid and void are recurrent motifs.
