ESTUDIO DEDÓS has created an interior space that brings soft light into the yoga studio in Medellín, Colombia.
Throughout the interiors the lighting is a key component in creating a serene, reflective, and sensory experience at Garden of the Soul, an indoor yoga and health area.

Named Garden of the Soul, the lighting concept was created to encourage mindfulness activities while honoring the space's architectural design and the body's inherent cycles.
In order to produce a balanced and emotionally comfortable environment, the project investigates a tiered lighting strategy that combines indirect illumination, regulated accents, and soft ambient light.

Warm color temperatures, glare reduction, and seamless transitions throughout the day were given particular consideration, enabling the space to adjust to various times of day, from practices assisted by natural light throughout the day to evening sessions that call for a more private and grounded setting.

The integration of lighting control systems improved the relationship between artificial and natural light by adjusting settings and intensity based on the time of day. By lowering visual stress and promoting a more mindful and healing spatial experience, this strategy supports the project's emphasis on wellbeing.

Light becomes an invisible guide that improves the space's architecture, materials, and sensory experience rather than serving as a decorative feature.
Garden of the Soul serves as an example of how well-considered lighting design can support wellness-focused interior design by fostering spaces that promote introspection, introspection, and reconnection.
