The Temple of Light is a spiritual sanctuary and meeting place for the Yasodhara Ashram in Kootenay Bay, BC. After losing their previous temple to fire in 2014, the community renewed their site by constructing a rarefied, dome-like space on the original foundations. The remote temple is nestled within the forest’s edge overlooking Kootenay Lake from a cliff top. The project is composed of a large, open worship space and a subordinate auxiliary area containing a processional entry / greeting hall as well as discretely tucked away support and storage spaces.
