Design Concept
Rooted in the idea of the Lotus – symbol of purity and tranquility, the design reinterprets lotus-leaf geometry through architectural lines and façade elements.
This motif flows through the villa’s roof contours, sun-screen panels, and garden layout, creating a cohesive visual identity that blends cultural symbolism with contemporary aesthetics.
Natural materials, open courtyards, and soft daylight strengthen the spiritual calm that defines The Zen Villa — a place where architecture becomes meditation.
