HTAV Meditation Center
CSA Partners as part of additional work at HTAV were asked to design a meditation center on the temple
site. CSA decided to partially submerge the structure within the existing primordial mound to the west
that existed on the site. The form of the structure references the true ‘garb griha’ or womb house. The
views provided from the minimal and ‘cave like’ interior are of a sacred tree, main temple and the open
sky beyond.
