2025 ASIA’S BEST CIVIC BUILDING ARCHITECTURE DESIGN

Company: HUIDROM DESIGN STUDIO

Project name: Babina Wellness Centre

Location: Imphal, Manipur

Designer/ Architect: Huidrom Design Studio

Manufacturer: Huidrom Design Studio

Stakeholder/ Owner: Babina Healthcare Hospitality Industries Pvt Ltd.

 

Babina Wellness Centre is a visionary project that transcends conventional architecture by seamlessly integrating healing, sustainability, and cultural values into a singular, holistic sanctuary.

Nestled within the lush landscapes of Manipur, it draws from its serene surroundings to offer a haven for those seeking balance in mind, body, and spirit. Unlike typical civic spaces, the Centre is purposefully designed to reconnect individuals with nature while addressing a critical societal need - a dedicated space for mental well-being.

At its core lies a biophilic design philosophy, where form and function embrace nature. Locally sourced materials and thoughtful detailing reflect indigenous traditions and biodiversity. Inspired by the sacred symbolism of the Bodhi tree, the landscape is adorned with bamboo, olive, and neem - flora that calm, heal, and sustain.

Passive ventilation, organically flowing spaces, and sunlit interiors blur the boundaries between indoors and out, inviting visitors to breathe deeply and rediscover inner peace.

More than a beautiful space, the Centre stands as a model of Sustainable Architecture. From lightweight materials like glass-fibre-reinforced concrete to energy-efficient systems and water-conservation strategies, every element is chosen with ecological mindfulness. Babina Wellness Centre is not just a building - it’s a Blueprint for Future Civic Architecture, where aesthetics, sustainability, and cultural soulfulness converge to uplift entire communities.

The Princess, The Silk Village, and The Hotel That Refused to Shout: Inside Dusit Le Palais Tu Hoa

Named 2026 Asia’s Best Hospitality Architecture Design at the Asia Architecture Design Awards, the Dusit Le Palais Tu Hoa Hotel makes a contrarian case: in Asia’s fastest-growing tourism market, the most valuable architecture is the kind that defers to its place - and is built to last decades, not news cycles.
