Located in Kuwait City’s busiest district ‘Qibla’, The yoga center is an attempt to revitalize the basement floor of Jassim Tower. The location of the project was unorthodox. However it was an attempt to serve women both within the city boundaries & from the surrounding residential areas. The reception area in the center interlocks with both the lockers & office area, allowing for the smooth flow of members. The Locker area is then aligned with the leg wash area which signals the ‘shoe free zone’. From then onward is the corridor & reading room that lead to the three yoga rooms.
