The building is designed to be a yoga and meditation training center. This was our first attempt to build a 20-foot-diameter CSEB dome, making responsible efforts to obtain the structural, aesthetical and economical benefits of right construction. Then the client excited about our work, proposed a second dome, this being the second largest masonry dome of Tamil Nadu, 48 feet in diameter, entirely built with earth bricks. The dome is an efficient roof type, made of ecological bricks and with less concrete used, this being a sustainable and aesthetically pleasing project.

Most of this work is due to our head mason Kannan, who has put his heart, soul, mind and body into making this project a success. We are proud to have participated in this feat and to have given the corresponding solutions during the process, counting on people trained in this technique.
