Submission Deadline:  Friday, Jun 5, 202011:59 PMBST

The Vale de Moses Yoga Retreat in the stunning remote forests of central Portugal is listed as one of the best retreats in the world by NatGeo UK Traveller, Forbes Magazine, The Guardian and several yoga magazines. Every year the retreat welcomes over 500 people from 60+ countries around the world, all looking to take time to be with themselves in a natural wilderness environment - abundant space to breathe and feel.

The initial restoration of the Vale de Moses Yoga Retreat took five years, and used traditional construction methods to reinvigorate four abandoned stone farmhouse cottages. Much of the work was done by hand - without electricity or power tools - and now eight years on, the retreat is looking to build new facilities for their guests.

The Vale De Moses Meditation Cabins competition is the first in a series of competitions based in Portugal and the first in partnership with Vale de Moses. For this competition, participants are being asked to create designs for a cabin that could be replicated in any number of spots throughout the retreat.

The cabin’s main purpose is to allow guests to experience treatments and meditation sessions that allow them to reconnect with themselves, and to the surrounding forest, gardens and natural elements. Each cabin should provide sufficient space for one guest and one therapist; providing a world class healing space that connects each guest to the beauty of nature, while at the same time protecting them from its harsher elements.

With winning designs being considered for construction - and Portugal’s reputation as one of the greenest countries in Europe - projects are expected to have the potential to become a regional example of green building practice, focusing on eco-friendly and cost-effective building techniques.

摩西谷的冥想小屋
位于葡萄牙中部令人惊叹的偏远森林中的Vale de Moses瑜伽静修地被NatGeo UK Traveller、福布斯杂志、《卫报》和一些瑜伽杂志列为世界上最好的静修地之一。每年都有来自世界60多个国家的500多人参加，他们都想花点时间在自然的荒野环境中独处——这里有充足的空间来呼吸和感受。
摩西谷瑜伽度假村的最初修复花了5年时间，并使用传统的施工方法，使四所废弃的石屋恢复生机。许多工作都是手工完成的——没有电或电动工具——现在八年过去了，静修中心正在为他们的客人建造新的设施。
摩西谷瑜伽静修处位于葡萄牙的心脏地带;
摩西谷冥想小屋比赛是在葡萄牙举行的一系列比赛中的第一个，也是第一个与摩西谷合作的比赛。在这个竞赛中，参加者被要求设计一个小屋，这个小屋可以被复制到整个静修期间的任何地点。
小屋的主要目的是让客人体验治疗和冥想，让他们与自己重新连接，并与周围的森林、花园和自然元素。每个小屋应为一名客人和一名治疗师提供足够的空间;提供一个世界级的愈合空间，连接每个客人的自然美，同时保护他们免受其严酷的因素。
随着获奖设计被考虑用于建筑——以及葡萄牙作为欧洲最绿色的国家之一的声誉——项目有望成为绿色建筑实践的地区范例，注重环保和成本效益高的建筑技术。
