Vulcan

About

Set atop a pastured hill where the wind blows long and steady, the building feels like a secret tunnel through time hidden between nature and humanity. The low curve of the ceiling embraces visitors like a warm nest built of wood. The moment you push open the door, an exotic sound cuts through the air, and an atmosphere as intimate as clasped hands seeps in. Like the title of the film 'Vulcania' mentioned in the excerpt, this space carries an emotion as if it had bloomed from a crack in the earth's crust where lava once flowed. Visitors unconsciously come to a stop, and within a darkness that seems invisible in the moment, they fall, as if in a scene from the film, into a maze of emotion that closes in around them.
