# Cave-Like Meditation Spaces StudioX4 Unveils a New Meditation Space Design in Taipei By Kalin Ned | Published 2022-11-15 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meditation-space-design References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2022/11/14/studiox4-cavernous-meditation-space-taipei/) Contemporary meditation space design can be tricky as architects have to think through a number of aesthetic and functional needs. For example, adjustable lighting sources are essential for meditation, yoga, and other mindfulness practices as they help facilitators establish a calm and serene atmosphere. A new meditation space design popped up in a residential building in Taipei. The space was overhauled by local design company StudioX4. The practice wanted to build a "quiet sanctuary" for urban citizens. The interior is characterized by a semi-circular space that evokes a [cave-like shape](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-insight-cave-space) because the ceiling and walls flow into each other. Additionally, the space features "a dark, canopy-like ceiling and an LED-lit oculus" which enhances the meditation experience.
