The Green House (SVWorld Series)

The Green House

                           "A home far away from the city,
where the mind and heart are free." avr

Dr Abe V Rotor


It's a fort of green trees around,
that buffer noise and wind,
filter dust and glare of the sun,
home for austere living.


Simple and balance are its view,
white and green in perfect duo.
a home* far away from the city,
where the mind and heart are free.


Botanical Garden - living gene bank 
of indigenous plants, and ecosanctuary
of wildlife in their natural setting 
through the seasons and years.


Murals, murals, everywhere,
not a space left to write on,
but the art of Nature.


Green House wedged by heritage trees
    of three or four generations -
living monuments of the family,
    community and history.


An illusion of a fort,
created by murals
and versatile lens.


A gallery of paintings traces the movements of art;
a back stair leads to a family museum and library.

 
A make believe rock spring -
 makes an empty wall living.

If you can't go to the sea, 
make the sea come to you; 
although it's not your own,
just borrow its view.


Nature is all around - 
on the floor, ceiling, and walls;
walk on water, touch the sky, 
 breathe freely.

* Rotor Family Residence in San Vicente, Ilocos Sur
