The spiritual and creative structure is not only meant to be a haven for serenity and peace, it also boasts a [four-story greenhouse](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mahamudra-meditation-centre). Designed by Architect Aibek Almasov of A.Masow Design Studio, this tranquilizing space will act as the perfect escape from the bustling city.
