PROJECT SWEDEN

In the heart of the Oviken forest, in northern Sweden, lies the International Center for Inner Peace.
The site was chosen for its unique natural conditions: an energetic point with high electromagnetic frequency, making the environment ideal for contemplation, meditation, and consciousness work.

The project is conceived as a space for retreats, conferences, and activities focused on inner development. Its design is based on an essential geometric figure: the tetrahedron. This four-faced triangular shape, aside from its structural stability, symbolizes balance and connection. From it, the overall proportions and relationships between spaces were established, aligning the visitor's journey with the site's energy.

This energetic sensitivity also translated into a design approach inspired by the principles of biogeometry, incorporating shapes, orientations, and materials that seek to harmonize the subtle flows between the body, space, and nature.

From the entrance, the architecture presents itself with discretion. The land naturally rises above the construction, giving the impression that it emerges from the earth itself. Three stone volumes mark the access points and serve as visual references within the forest, establishing a direct dialogue with the landscape.

A perimeter ring houses the lodging area, carefully integrated into the rest of the complex. This space reflects the desire to offer an immersive experience. The rooms allow visitors to stay on-site without the need to travel, maintaining constant contact with the surroundings. Stone and wood were used as primary materials, chosen for their local origin and their ability to blend with the landscape without breaking its continuity.

The center includes meditation rooms, conference spaces, a media library, areas for consciousness work, an auditorium, communal spaces, and open zones for contemplation. The boundaries between interior and exterior dissolve through patios, thresholds, and gentle paths, inviting a slow, deliberate experience. In certain areas, the structure is elevated to allow the free passage of local wildlife, respecting the natural routes of species such as moose, foxes, or mountain hares.

Project Sweden is a work that seeks to stand out not for its scale or form, but for its ability to resonate with the place and its energy.
A space that accompanies the landscape, that holds silence, and that allows for pause.
