OAK REFUGE.

The third floor is distinguished by the Oak Refuge, a tranquil spiritual sanctuary situated atop The Garten’s central communal building. This interfaith space underscores the importance of spirituality in fostering a connected and supportive community. The Oak Refuge features three primary areas: a movement studio, a library, and a multi-faith meditation and prayer hall, each carefully designed to honour diverse religious beliefs and spiritual practices, reflecting The Garten’s core values of community, sustainability, and inclusivity.

Complementing the Oak Refuge is a small Zen-inspired garden with a wooden walkway, tucked between the refuge and the apartments opposite it. This quiet, contemplative space invites residents to experience serenity and reflection, further enhancing the third floor’s atmosphere of tranquillity and spiritual exploration.
