What’s important to me is that this house functions in the lives of the people of the local community, as this will bring new experiences to contribute to their daily lives.
In my “Dream Project” the guests art asked to write down their dreams in the “Dream Book”. It is important that this “Dream Book” relate to the traditions and heritages which are gradually disappearing from our lives in the midst of the bustle of the modern technological age.
Coming soon.
Guests purify their bodies in a copper bath with a crystal pillow, put on a special sleeping suit designed for dreaming a dream, and sleep overnight on a bed with obsidian pillow, while feeling the natural energy emitted from the mineral. The experience is crowned by writing your dream in the “Dream Book” in the following morning.
