These therapy rooms for mud therapy and shirodhara at LD Campus are about the play of light and shadow. Above ground, rammed earth walls, crafted from local soils, exude warmth and connection to nature. Underground, stone masonry walls project strength and timelessness. A slender ceiling slit allows gentle daylight to cascade, transforming surfaces into a dynamic canvas of shadows and textures. The symbiosis of earthy tones, natural textures, and orchestrated light creates a therapeutic haven. In this architectural marvel, the fusion of rammed earth and stone masonry elevates the therapeutic experience, providing an immersive sanctuary that resonates with tranquility and promotes profound introspection and healing.
