The interior design draws inspiration from biblical themes, reinterpreting the idea of paradise as a contemporary spatial experience. Rather than literal symbolism, the concept is expressed through atmosphere—light, material, and sequence—creating a space that evokes serenity, reflection, and spiritual depth.

This interpretation of paradise is intertwined with elements of Korean architectural sensibility. Water, transparency, and natural textures are used as symbolic devices, suggesting purification, continuity, and calm.

Each space carries a poetic meaning beyond its function. The result is an environment that is not only visually distinctive but also experiential—a modern sanctuary shaped by symbolism, tradition, and contemplation.
