The exact definition of this word is difficult to interpret in other languages since it has many layers of special meanings.

The purpose of the project is to create a stopover point for tourists, the rooms are designed with suitable space area, minimalist furniture, and an atmosphere suited for a temporary stay.

The overall functions of the homestay ensures a practical aspect that meets guests' daily activities.

During the designing phase of this project, we've made Komorebi the main subject and the surrounding context the main focus, from there, the construction and the surrounding context are connected naturally.

The shapes and color theme are also chosen based on the above mentioned personal feel of the project.

The human factor and nature form a harmonious bond, ensuring that the existence of this new project is a balance and irreplaceable factor of the current area.

We used doors and wood bars to create the image of "sunlight shines through tree leaves".

The transformation of lights and shadows throughout the day create an interplay on the eyes and emotions, and we take that as the main highlight of the project's construction.
