A blanket of fibre optics allows the heartbroken to live in shadow. The half-light becomes an eternal embrace; within these shadows intimacy is borne. The building provides the same delicate shadows that dance on a lover's skin, the nape of their neck, their collarbone and within the lines on their hands. These innate shadows are where the soul can surface; it is here two souls reach out to connect.

Designing these intimate shadows into the architecture creates a place with a soul and the ability to comfort its inhabitants. A building where fingerprints are left, where the soul is carved into its wood, burnishes its metal and digs into its earth. Everywhere one ventures, everything one touches, leaves a trail on one's soul.

From this intimacy the building comes alive as a collaborative monument of hope, fossilising the lost language between broken lovers, capturing the shadow shared between them. It allows one to see that they are not alone, that others have felt the same pain. When someone reaches out to the architecture that has cured so many, hands meet through time and space, and they understand that everything is going to be ok.
