AN ARCHITECTURAL RETREAT

Take a journey to the woods and trek through the forest. For every step you take, listen. A far cry from the city, the suburb- the familiar. Not there, but here. Be present. The house is a not a house. Nor are you, you. Here, it is different. The grazing of light gently paints the surfaces of the atrium. The windows open fully to invite nature and all its sublime- into the traveler's abode, filtering the morning light as its rays carry forth the scent of the pine forest beyond. Your coffee isn't the same anymore. The slow drip of time are now ever evident. The light is more pronounced. Your movements occupy the passage of time. Cooking around the kitchen island elevates an appreciation for nature's bounty. As there is slow food, there is slow space, slowness, silence. The cabin weaves through the forest. As nature shapes the cabin, the cabin shapes light, and the light, in turn, shapes us.
