Inside this emblematic pavilion, the melodic rhythm of raindrops becomes the timekeeper...

Rain and books, both share one aspect in many ways: they calm the mind and refresh the spirit. Rain, the rhythm of the universe, creates nature and eases inner tension. Books, snapshots of thought and history, nurture intellectual awareness and open up new horizons.

This sensory voyage brings us to a well-preserved wooden pavilion, where countless books, rare manuscripts and precious scrolls are carefully stored. Climbing up the wooden stairs, we are greeted by the unique smell of old books, which brings our senses into a world of mystery. Inside this emblematic pavilion, the melodic rhythm of raindrops becomes the timekeeper as its sound travels through the finely carved wooden windows.

Being in a place far away from anything, at the same time being inside of a space-within-a-space, we enjoy a quiet moment to listen to the gentle rain, to distil thought, and to reread old books that once became a part of us. Through the beautiful silence, we venture a glimpse into the future.
