TAPAS - The Art of Mindful Living / Fahed+Architects

Located in the heart of Kochi in Kerala, India - TAPAS is a private apartment building that offers a tranquil retreat from urban life. The name "TAPAS" comes from the Sanskrit word तपस्, which refers to a variety of austere spiritual practices, emphasizing self-discipline, reflection, and mindfulness. This concept serves as the foundation of the project, where the architecture fosters a serene environment that encourages residents to embrace a slower, more mindful way of living. Nestled between its natural surroundings and the built form, TAPAS harmoniously blends simplicity, nature, and craftsmanship. The building comprises six apartments spread across G+3 floors and a co-working space on the ground floor.
