  • Meditation Pavilion by David Coleman
    We really love tiny spaces that enhance the experience of being in beautiful places, so when <a href="http://www.davidcoleman.com/">David Coleman</a> shared photos of his Meditation Pavilion in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Mountains">Vermont's Green Mountains</a>, we knew you'd enjoy reading all about it. Sitting astride a picture perfect pond on a 20 acre site in America's famed northeastern countryside, the pavilion is almost completely engulfed by its autumnal environment - as it should be. Rather than attempting to dominate the landscape, this minimalist project asks anyone lucky enough to set foot there to contemplate their surroundings and find their green souls in the process.
