Skyspace Amarta is a James Turrell Skyspace located in the Patina Maldives. The building is a unique and permeable pavilion that seamlessly connects with the surrounding nature, embracing the elements to create a mesmerizing experience.
Emphasizing the harmony between architecture and environment, the pavilion's wooden facade allows an abundance of natural light to penetrate its interior, enabling visitors to be immersed in the. As night falls, the pavilion transforms into a gentle glowing beacon, its soft light blending harmoniously with the natural surroundings.
The building’s focal point, a ceiling with an aperture to the sky, seemingly floats above the ground, ingenuously sustained exclusively by its timber facade. That ensures that the ceiling's entirety remains perceptible, without any central columns blocking it. The pavilion's slender slats not only contribute to its aesthetic appeal but also facilitate the free flow of air and light throughout the building. Skyspace Amarta stands as a testament to the seamless integration of art and architecture, welcoming guests to engage in moments of quiet reflection and profound awe.
