Nature is known to be one of the best stimulants for your brain, and immersion within nature stimulates the five sensory systems which increase activities in one's parasympathetic nervous system. heightened This awareness, leads to eventually resulting in a state of relaxation. So the concept that was created for this house was to promote maximum integration of the inside environment with the surrounding outdoor environment. The intention is to awaken different sensations in occupants through natural materials, textures, lighting, ventilation, and vegetation, combined with organic and rounded shapes that instinctively connect us to the environment. This concept of integration was also explored through fluid spaces that communicate with each other. The spaces within the house were subtly compartmentalized to avoid abrupt visual barriers. Open spaces effect our direct experience of seasonality and the dynamic of seasonal change. Open spaces stimulate our multi-sensory perceptions including sights, smells, sounds, and the haptic touch of seasonal markers. This includes ambient temperatures, wind, breezes, sunshine, moonlight, shade and shadow, humidity, rainfall, snow, ice, flowing water, and more. Being within this space throughout the course of the year gives us the opportunity to experience the seasonal cycle of the space. By incorporating natural elements, such as wood, stone, wool, leather, and plants, into the interior architecture, this helps to keep the mind stimulated throughout the different parts of the day. The aluminum frames of the windows have a special mechanism that function as pivoting sunshades. This was done because our bodies and minds are deeply affected by circadian rhythm, or our biological clock, so understanding the role of light in an environment is crucial for the user's comfort. This is also key to improving people's mood and energy levels, which directly affects their appetite, motivation, and one’s ability to focus.
