This prefabricated immersive meditation space for start-up Inscape spans 6,000 sf ground floor and 4,000 sf lower level in Chelsea. The ground floor holds meditation domes, retail areas and lounges while the lower level serves as headquarters. It delivers deep meditation experiences through sensory control and supports global scalability with easy, fast installation. Key designs include adjustable prefabricated bamboo “flaps” (acoustic panels) in retail areas and a 45-person bamboo dome wrapped in white linen. The dome has hidden adjustable LED rings, invisible speaker grids and custom Ligne Roset seating. Developed via parametric design and 1:1 robotic CNC prototyping by LA’s Aria, the prefabricated bamboo gridshell uses renewable materials and local manufacturing to cut carbon footprint, blending natural style with sensory technology for well-being.
