Elevated house

I have created a journey designed to gradually bring you to peace in the shape of 3 floors on top of each other, connected by spiral stairs.

In an overwhelming, fast paced world, it is hard to truly disconnect and recharge.

These stairs will bring you on a sensory and spiritual path from the ground to heaven.

THE JOURNEY:

There is a comfortable darkness with wet rocks, quiet and still. Cold surfaces on the feet. The crunching sound of gravel and squelching sound of feet on wet rock almost echoing between the walls. Much like a cave. This complete abruption of the outside wakes up your senses alert, attentive to every sound and sensation. A cold rinse of hands and feet. Grounds you. A switch from mind to matter happens. The physical sensations is the center of attention and what happened on the outside is forgotten. The cold water cleans your hands and feet, but also your mind.

Everything from the outside stays here. A light from the stairs pulls you towards it, and when you look up, you will see the light source; a piece of heaven far up there.

Arriving right in the middle with space on both sides into the world among the branches. Its playful and dynamic but calm. The light plays shadows through the trees. Here is for food and living. Enjoy a good meal and a glass of wine, think, listen to music, enjoy a good book, have dinner with family. It is an open space for movement, exercise, yoga. When you run out of energy, you continue to the final climb to disconnection.

Once arriving at the top, the sky opens up. Brightness and your attention is upward. There is no longer anything are holding onto or connecting you to the outside. You are above everything, one with the infinite air and vast. Completely detached. Here your soul is free. Your body can recharge while your mind enjoy existing and experiencing.

The material is light and the furniture are elevated. Water is not pushing but falling from above. The wind can be let through the roof window and dance around your skin. The sun can fill you with energy and the stars with wonder. The mirror reflects your face in the sky. After your hot bath watching treetops you make it to the final stage. You walk over to the bed. The moon is watching you while you fall into a deep sleep.
