In Cheonbuk-myeon, Gyeongju, the host designed small heaven based on a new song by Italian medieval poet Dante Alighieri. According to the protagonist of this work, heaven is just around the corner under the ninth sky of purgatory. It is as if the protagonist of the song, "Cloud Nine" makes staying on a trip the happiest part of life. You will be faced with a stepping stone bridge on the sky blue water after passing through the white gate and yard. While crossing the stepping stone bridge, the protagonist experiences the feeling of passing through purgatory.

In conjunction with white, the purest color, and warm wood, Cloud Nine created a modern space. The place consists of an interior and an exterior. The interior is divided into a living room, a bedroom, a kitchen, and a bathroom. In the living room, the floor was built in a downward slope, and large windows were positioned all around the room, allowing the eyes to look at the outside scenery while the wind blew. An area for tea ceremonies was created on one wall of the bedroom. You can enjoy a spa experience in the bathtub, where sunlight and water warm your body and mind. An area for camping is available outside as well. This area is ideal for barbecues or picnics. The rest area is located above the hydroponic space, so you can talk while listening to the flow of water.

This is a place filled with static elements of rest, but a day here flows very quickly. As you sit in the living room, contemplating water during the day and the flames at night, you can spend time meditating. With Cloud Nine's unique structure, such as stepping stones, down floors, and external rest areas, you will have a great opportunity to capture the moment. In the evening, you can watch a movie in your bedroom. Resting like a quietly floating cloud will bring comfort to your trip.
