SAMSARA TRIBE DUBAI

RYMAR.studio architects designed a minimalist interior with wabi-sabi elements for a yoga studio located in one of Dubai's most prestigious areas, Dubai Marina, on the first line of the Stella Maris tower.

The design process presented the challenge of optimally arranging all functional zones within a limited space. The client's requirements, a young and successful entrepreneur from Russia, included a bar for healthy food, coffee, and freshly squeezed juices, as well as a cozy seating area for the café with a bar counter. Additionally, the studio needed to accommodate a large yoga room for 30 visitors on the second level, along with separate changing rooms, bathrooms for men and women, and storage rooms. The primary goal was to comfortably fit the maximum number of people not only in the yoga rooms but also in the public spaces. After exploring numerous configurations, the team arrived at the ideal layout, creating a comfortable and welcoming environment that feels "embracing."

The most distinctive elements of the project include the wooden bar counter on the first level and a unique fabric ceiling installation in the yoga room on the second level.

The design employs a neutral beige color palette with low contrast to help calm the mind. The concept was inspired by the lines of the human body—smooth curves and soft shapes—that promote relaxation and immersion in a meditative state. The soft seating area is adorned with vintage bamboo pendant lights, resembling jellyfish, adding a touch of warmth and charm to the space.
