About Hermes یاخت

هێرمێس تایبەتمەندی دیزاینێکی مۆدێرنی هەیە، بە پەنجەرەکانی لا و هێڵە نەرمە ڕەوانەکان. پەنجەرەکانی لا پەیوەندییەکی نزیک لەگەڵ ژینگەی دەوروبەر دروست دەکەن، ئاو و ڕووناکی سروشتی لە کاتی ڕۆژدا ڕەنگ دەداتەوە، لە کاتێکدا لە شەودا بە لێدی دەوروبەر ڕووناک دەبنەوە کە سێبەرەکە بەهێز دەکەن. شێوە باریکەکان کارایی بەرەوپێش دەبەن، لە کاتێکدا ڕووناکی نەرم کەشێکی گەرم و ئاسوودە دروست دەکات، تایبەتێتی و وردبینی دڵنیا دەکاتەوە. لە ناوچەی پێشەوەی خوارەوە دوو کابینی تێدایە کە بە جێگای نوستن بۆ مانەوەی شەوانە دابینکراون. بەشی سەرەوەی سەقفی شووشەیی دەتوانرێت لە ڕێگەی سیستەمێکی کارەباییەوە بکرێتەوە.
