lommer (Dutch) | noun
1 leaves of trees collectively, foliage
2 shadows cast by foliage
Lommer is a space formed by the sun, the foliage and its shadows. Under the canopy of leaves a place comes into being where one can rest in the dancing shadows and take shelter from the rain. That is how beautiful and simple architecture can be.
The word lommer came into being through spoken language; the word (Dutch) was adapted from the French word l’ombre (shadow in French).
