我们被邀请设计和建造一个瑜伽花园工作室，这个空间提供了一个宁静的放松和健康的感官体验。

We were invited to design and build a Yoga Garden Studio, a space that provides a serene sensory experience of relaxation and well-being.

该空间位于里斯本附近Cascais的一栋房子的后院，要求有一个简单的空间组织，并与花园顺利结合，有意与周围的城市生活创造一个距离。

Located in a backyard of a house in Cascais, near Lisbon, the space was required to have a simple spatial organization and to be smoothly integrated with the garden, to intentionally create a distance from the urban life of the surroundings.

由于瑜伽课程将在白天和晚上进行，工作室的方向和组织、使用的材料和对外部的开放都是为了在一天中提供不同的环境和气氛，并随着时间和季节的自然光的变化而变化。光线使空间有质量的环境，并创造一个和平的气氛，符合瑜伽原则。考虑到这一点，我们选择了有利于自然光的系统，调节其强度，并避免眩光，因为光线不会直接落在人身上。

As the yoga classes will take place both at day and night, the orientation and organization of the studio, the materials used and the openings to the exterior were thought in order to provide different ambiences and atmospheres throughout the day and with the change of natural light through time and seasons. The light allows to qualify environmentally the space and creates a peaceful atmosphere, in line with yoga principles. With this in mind the systems were choosen in order to favor natural light, regulate their intensity, and avoid glare as the light does not fall direct on people.

屋顶是用聚碳酸酯板制成的，有助于过滤天顶光线的进入，有利于长时间的自然觉醒，同时允许与太阳直接联系，这在许多瑜伽练习中是必不可少的。垂直的墙是用CLT板制作的。工作室面向东方和街道的墙没有开口，以保证瑜伽课程的隐私感。对面的墙面朝西，通过部分用松木板条覆盖的窗户与花园相连，以便于通风和实现室内的漫射光。朝北的入口墙是两扇大玻璃旋转门和两个固定的玻璃窗。通过这些不同的方法，瑜伽教室在隐私和开放之间取得了平衡。如果在夜间进行练习，则选择人工照明，其质量是温暖的，也是可调节的。

The roof is made with alveolar polycarbonate panels that help to filter the entrance of zenith light, favoring a long and natural awakening and allowing at the same time direct connection to the sun which is essential in many of the yoga exercises. The vertical wall were made in CLT panels. The wall from the studio that faces east and the street has no openings to guarantee the sense of privacy to the yoga classes. The opposite wall is facing west and connects to the garden through windows that were partially covered with slatted pine wood in order to allow ventilation and achieve a diffuse light in the interior. The entrance wall facing north as two large glass revolving doors and two fixed glass windows. With these different approaches the yoga classroom balances between privacy and openness. If practices are carried out at night, artificial light was choosen, in a warm quality and also adjustable.

由于呼吸控制是瑜伽练习的基础，所以允许工作室适当的通风是一个基本条件。考虑到这一点，我们对工作室进行了预测，以允许交叉通风，确保在练习期间或房间无人的时候，室内有一定的氧气更新。为此，我们在外墙上开了第一个口子，接收盛行的风，并在对面墙上开了第二个口子。几十年来，一套东方的实践和技术已经强烈地渗透到西方世界。这些学科以人为中心，因为他们寻求工作和满足他们的身体、心理和精神需求。通过这个项目，我们从功能、环境和美学的角度受到了挑战。在设计和施工过程中所采取的行动和决定，目的是创造一个能让人思考、冥想、反省和治疗的空间。

Since breath control is the basis in yoga practices, allow proper ventilation to the studio was a fundamental. With this in mind the studio was projected to allow across ventilation making sure that there is a certain current renew of oxygen inside, during the session or at the times when the room is not being occupied. For this, we generate a first opening in the facade that receives the prevailing winds, and a second opening on the opposite wall. For several decades, a set of oriental practices and techniques have strongly infiltrated the western world. These disciplines are focused on the human being, as they seek to work and satisfy their physical, psychological and spiritual needs. With this project, we were challenged from the point of functional, environmental, and aesthetic. The operations and decisions taken during design and constructions process where made with the objective of creating a space that enables environment for reflection, meditation, introspection and healing.

我们思考这个瑜伽花园工作室的建筑，就像我们思考寺庙的建筑一样：内敛和安静的空间，昏暗和变化的光线。我们相信简单的方式，相信秩序和结构，相信重复，相信空气和风，相信太阳，相信呼吸和身体的形状，在我们需要向内看的空间。

We thought about the architecture of this Yoga Garden Studios, as we would think about the architecture of a temple: introverted and quiet spaces, with dim and changing light. We believe in simple ways in order and structure, in repetition, in air and wind, the sun, breathing and the shapes of the body in the space we need to look inward.
