项目坐落于捷克布尔诺(Brno)，由RO_AR Szymon Rozwalka architects设计。项目旨在通过对自然和抽象空间的探索，营造出不落怀旧俗套、摆脱虚假工业感、不刻意追求灵性与异国情调的自然本真的空间氛围。作为一个地道的欧洲事务所，RO_AR认为建筑的设计过程就如同做瑜伽一样，应该尽量避免对刻板印象与错误定式的屈从。
The architecture designed for the Yoga Garden and Art Gallery Brno is the result of a search for a natural and at the same time abstract space. We wished to create a space without the deceitfulness of nostalgia (industrial fake) or false spirituality (exotic cliché). Within our European context yoga, just like architecture, too often succumbs to the false of preconception, which we have attempted to avoid.

项目的前身是一栋在历史街区中发展起来的后工业主义建筑。它如同一片彰显街区历史的碎片，在这片碎片中，一些过去的痕迹还依稀可见，另一些逐渐模糊消隐，还有一些则完全消失了。所有的痕迹都是富有意义与趣味性的，可以作为项目设计的起点，然而，建筑师决定以一种与众不同的激进方式将这些历史的痕迹重新诠释出来，在大胆设计的同时不忘对过去历史的尊重，可以说，项目最终呈现出的姿态与其中的空间体验并不是事先有意决定的，而是使用者个人选择的结果。
The original building was a post-industrial structure within a historical block development, a severed fragment of a former whole. A fragment in which certain traces of the past were visible, others hidden and others still entirely forgotten. All of these traces were interesting, and could have become the initial point of departure of the project. However, we decided on a different manner of radical intervention – without fear, but with respect for the old. The result was not intentionally determined in advance, but was the result of individual decisions.

两个全新的中庭空间被纳入建筑的设计中，其中的配植由花园建筑师Mirka Svorová设计。前部中庭为项目的入口区域，狭窄的异型走廊与光线充足的开放式花园形成鲜明的对比，带给人们意想不到的惊喜与反差感。后部的中庭则宛如微观世界的缩影，为瑜伽大厅提供了一个随着季节而变化的自然背景。
Two new atria have been incorporated into the design of the building, with greenery designed by the garden architect Mirka Svorová. The first atrium surprises visitors with its contrast between the confined, articulated space of the entrance corridor and the open gardens full of light. The rear atrium is an autonomous microcosm. It becomes a background, a scenography for the main hall – an image which changes according to the season of the year.

瑜伽花园的理念原则旨在“可持续发展、减少当代社会对自然环境的影响”，这种理念悉数展现在了花园的低技术生态设计中：花园具有储存雨水的功能，这些雨水将储存在积水层中以保持土壤充足的水分，使花园中的植被不需要额外浇水，从而降低了人工维护的负担。
One of the fundamental values of the Yoga Garden is: “sustainable growth and minimising the impacts of our society on the environment.” We have attempted to apply the investor’s approach here within the project. The gardens hold rainwater, and thanks to their low-tech design they do not require watering – the accumulation layer retains water, which is sufficient for sustaining the vegetation.

设计的首要目标是创造一个充满光线的广阔空间，同时使内部丰富的独立空间片段之间产生微妙的联系。入口区域直通画廊，在这里，人们的视线首先被花园的绿色植物吸引，然后又落在练习瑜伽的人身上。利用视线的交汇，内部空间与周围的世界连接起来，引导人们用身体去感受城市，建筑、树木与天空的视觉碎片在空间中相互交织，使人们暂时忘记外界的干扰，沉浸在与自身的对话之中。
Our aim was to create an expansive space full of light, and simultaneously full of subtle connections between the individual fragments of the interior. The entrance area can be seen from the gallery, followed by the greenery of the garden, and in the next plan people practising yoga. In a similar manner, we have attempted to interconnect the interior with the world around it. To feel the city of which we are a part. We see fragments of buildings, trees, the sky, while the space at the same time provides us with the option of easily forgetting them and concentrating on ourselves.

对设计造成阻碍的原有建筑结构都经过了拆除或改造，例如：建筑的一部分被拆除创造出室外花园，柱子被拆除用以扩大空间，室内的部分墙体被拆除为灵活布局与设计创造提供了先决条件。而那些符合设计愿景的元素则被保留下来，并纳入到项目之中，例如：经过翻新的旧天窗，清理仔细但保留磨损痕迹的主梁与支梁等。此外，室内的石膏饰面也仅被部分清理，仍然能清晰地看出之前损坏的原始迹象。这个过程宛如一场与原始建筑的公开对谈，修旧如旧，敢于创新。
Wherever the existing building obstructed us, we decimated and transformed it. We demolished fragments of it in order to create new gardens, we demolished pillars in order to enlarge the space, we ripped out its innards to give ourselves the freedom to create something new. Wherever it was in accordance with our visions, we incorporated it into the project. We merely renovated the old skylights, carefully cleaned the construction beams and timbering, but left all the traces of wear and tear. Some of the plasters in the interior were only partially cleaned, and still show signs of the original damage. The process was an open dialogue in which the new dares to be new, while the old dares to be old.

当代的建筑师必须直面气候变化、文化社会学等多方面的挑战。RO_AR Szymon Rozwalka architects事务所相信，建筑与空间在影响人类潜意识的层面上发挥着重大的作用。微妙的、近乎抽象的细小改变足以打破人们潜意识中对既定事物的刻板印象，这种不确定性正是潜意识的神奇之处，也是当代人接纳如今多变的世界的一种基本技能。在本项目中，这种微妙的不确定性以建筑的语言表现在瑜伽大厅中，一根极长的木制联结梁取代了原有的混凝土支柱，以不可思议的形态“飘浮”在空间之中，如同对地吸引力的反抗。而天花板上与联梁十字交叉的LED灯带则进一步加强了这种神奇的效果。
As architects we have to face the challenges of today, both climatic and cultural-sociological. We are convinced that architecture functions most strongly on a subconscious level. The subtle, almost abstract undermining of the given is our way of learning to live in a state of subconscious uncertainty – an essential skill for embracing the contemporary “liquid” world. The architectural example of an attempt to introduce such a delicate uncertainty can be found in the main hall, where following the demolition of the concrete pillar a wooden binding beam “levitates” in its incredible length, as if it wished to defy gravity, which is further accentuated by its crossing with the strip of LED light.

此外，设计师还用钢筋混凝土与钢结构对原始砖石砌筑的柱子与墙体、木制的横梁与框架结构进行了加固，为建筑带来了当代的美学气息，也为空间注入了一种近乎抽象的轻盈感。
In a number of places the original brick constructions of the pillars and walls, the wooden beams and frames have been strengthened with new reinforced concrete and steel constructions, bringing a contemporary aesthetic to the building and also infusing the resulting space with an almost abstract lightness.
