About Merve
About Merve Tekin Merve Tekin is a bio-architect, educator, and co-founder of the architecture collective OBARUHU. A devoted caretaker of Mother Earth, her work is dedicated to creating energy-efficient, sustainable, and healing spaces—shaped by the limitless flexibility of earth and the power of collective creativity. Since 2011, her journey in bio-architecture has been deeply informed by the understanding that nature is the ultimate healer. She believes that spaces built with natural materials enhance the healing power of forms, elements, and human connection. Through her studies in Vaastu Shastra, she discovered that the wisdom she intuitively followed had existed for centuries, guiding harmonious relationships between body, space, and nature. Merve integrates this knowledge with traditional movement arts such as Yoga, Kalari, and Odissi, exploring the profound link between the human body and spatial design. Her approach to architecture is not just about shaping structures—it's about crafting environments that breathe, resonate, and support life. She believes that we are the creators of our own realities in this boundless universe. Let us come together and shape the world we envision—one space, one movement, one breath at a time.

Design Values & Teaching Methodologies
Blending Traditional Wisdom with Modern Sustainability
Our approach to architecture is not just about designing structures—it’s about creating living, breathing spaces that support well-being, connection, and ecological harmony. By merging Vaastu Shastra, bioclimatic principles, and natural materials, we cultivate an embodied, participatory learning experience where students, communities, and practitioners come together to co-create regenerative environments.
Core Methodologies:
Vaastu Shastra & Spatial Energy – Understanding the movement of energy in space and its impact on well-being.
Bioclimatic Design – Aligning structures with natural forces for sustainability and comfort.
Natural Materials & Craft – Learning through hands-on building with earth, wood, and other regenerative resources.
Community-Centric Design – Engaging in collective decision-making and participatory design processes.
Embodied Space & Movement – Integrating spatial awareness through movement, somatic practices, and meditation.
Design Retreats & Council Gatherings – Deepening the creative process through shared experiences, nonviolent communication, and holistic design dialogues.
Learning Approach:
Led by Merve Tekin, our workshops and retreats offer an immersive educational experience where architecture becomes a dynamic, intuitive, and inclusive practice. Through hands-on building, movement practices, and collective discussions, participants—whether beginners or experienced designers—gain a deep, experiential understanding of how space, energy, and human interaction shape our built environments.
Join us in creating spaces that heal, connect, and inspire.
