As we abide by shelter in place orders amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, our ReStore, active construction sites, and offices have temporarily closed.

The brightness of the light makes me squint at first sight. Though it’s no stronger than any other light in any other house; for me, this one is different. The glow is intense and I can feel it go straight to my heart.
