“Adhyatma” meaning spiritual or higher soul in Sanskrit, is a spiritual spa nestled in the seven sacred pools area of Sedona.
Spread over an acre of land, Adhyatma is seeking a balance between architecture and the surrounding environment. The architecture aims to embrace the terrain and seamlessly fit into the environment. The beauty of the land and the surroundings have inspired the design and its color scheme. While promoting health and wellness, Adhyatma is also designed with sustainability in mind. Locally sourced environmentally friendly materials like recycled wood and glass are used. The orientation of the buildings is tailored to respond to the specific climatic conditions. Passive and active climate control strategies have been utilized to provide optimal thermal, acoustic, and lighting comfort. Natural vegetation is used as external shading to reduce the overall solar heat gain during summers while providing a barrier from the cold winds during winter. Solar cells have been incorporated in the design to generate renewable energy. Water features are designed in the sensory garden that collect the rainwater and reduce stormwater runoff.
