All through the day, the sunshine fills the inside areas with the ever-changing tones of the numerous layers of vegetation, With 12 openings, which slide outwards in pairs, the inside surroundings may be stored recent by permitting for unobstructed wind stream. With the home windows open, the close by stream will also be heard, in order that the entire human senses seize the sensation of being instantly in the midst of the Guajuvira forest.
