The overall structure of the house is over 20 years old, however the actual challenge of this design brief was to integrate a large number of furnishings - a sofa, dining table and bed - the owner had purchased before the remodeling had begun. We blended Zen aesthetics with modernism to create a modern oriental typology. We also integrated oriental garden imagery into the space by the arrangement of texture, creating a calming atmosphere. Finally, from building materials to glue, all elements are non-toxic and eco-friendly.
