The Zen Villa has been winning top international architecture awards.

The Zen Villa is an architectural materialization of a dream, the truth
of human living in perfect harmony of nature, nourished from the source, our Gaia;
However, if not in such a forgotten paradise, how could one ever dream of a real experience,
of such divine love kept pouring into our soul,
of such golden light kept penetrating our pores,
of such exquisite aroma kept filling our nostrils,
of such dazzling beauty kept us in awe and wonder,
of such perfect harmony kept imbuing the frequency of our heart!
Daily and nightly imbibing the exiler of such divine ecstasy in the Zen Villa sanctuary,
we are finally returned home,
the lost Eden paradise,
where we finally know who we are,
that we are only eternal life!

The Zen Villa is constructed entirely with teak wood, and the careful seamlessly jointing of the wood using the same method for the construction of a boat without nails. The architect's design had gained top awards in numerous architecture competitions. It creates a living space where the source of life, nature, is alive and active in its full glory, celebrated in all change of seasons and all dramas of its elements! Sunlight, ocean breeze, mountain wind, black storm, etc, yet, you are cradled in the center of its sanctuary, feeling ever renewed by the power of the ONE, night and day! Suspended in awe, renewed with each breath and each sight, far from the smallness of our lives boxed up in air-conditioned cells, that so often makes us forget who we truly are.

Here in the embrace of Gaia, life is celebrated in its full glory together with nature!
Are we not one and part of nature itself?
This is achieved by a thorough OUTSIDE-IN & INSIDE-OUT design throughout the house. No matter where you are in the house, the view of raw nature is in full glorious and artistic display for your contemplative enjoyment. The spirit of nature is singing and dancing with the wind that freely inhabit every corner of the house. Light changes throughout the day like the most artfully designed lighting effect on a stage. The miraculous hues of the mountain and the mesmerizing tones of the ocean and where they meet the sky! The drama of the storm, the love story of the Sunrise kissing the mountain, and the glory of the sun surrendering to the infinite compassion of the ocean at sunset, each played out in each day a different glory...right on stage of the Zen Villa! And of course, the wild friends, of amazing colors and structures that decorate the tapestry of Gaia, butterflies, birds, monkeys, toucans, macaw, in pairs and families! These wild friends too, must be drunk with love, or under such strong love’s spell, that they sing such divine harmonies yet never show any aggression as those yellow jackets in North America.

Just as how Zen is beyond words, the Zen Villa is beyond words or imagination! The truth of our essence deep from within that could only be experienced!
