A Eulogy to the Sunlight

The traveler awakes from the sunlight, and the space is open for the sunlight. The sunlight shines over and refracts within different corners of the house, forming urprises falling at the next moment and footprint. As the building of duplex and row with the adjacent house, it is located in the narrow alley of four meters. The designer makes use of the ample sunlight, bringing in large amounts of the natural light into the dark house. It is bright enough without any electric lights in the daytime. The sunlight casts into the house from the irregular rectangles of solid wood grille made by ironwood in the front yard. With the passage of time, it reflects a distinct variety of light and shadow. The visual effect activates the building. At nighttime, a variety of light sources construct a natural and serene atmosphere for the indoor chamber.

Stay for some days, riding with light and shadow, travelling and living pleasantly with the sun and moon alongside.
