Embarking on the design journey of Wabi Sabi Refuge, I immersed myself in the profound quest for tranquility and harmony. This project became a testament to the pursuit of a tranquil haven that stirs a deep sense of calm within. Guided by the essence of wabi-sabi, my intention was to curate Wabi Sabi Refuge as a sacred space that nurtures an ethereal atmosphere, summoning a sincere connection with the surrounding world. Deliberate choices of muted hues and minimalist elements foster an environment of uncluttered serenity, encouraging introspection and contemplation. Embracing the innate imperfections and distinctive qualities of the carefully selected materials and objects added an exquisite touch of organic allure, instilling an authentic reverence for the beauty inherent in nature's creations. Wabi Sabi Refuge serves as a sanctuary, an evocative invitation for visitors to embrace the sublime simplicity, find solace in the imperfect, and uncover the profound and tranquil beauty that wabi-sabi unveils.

鉄骨造3階建のリノベーションプロジェクト

La création d'une salle d'au au premier étage, entre les deux chambres a été un défi en raison de la pente très importante du toit, qui minimise fortement la surface utilisable. La charpente apparente a été décapée, les carreaux de céramique émaillée de la collection Baker street de Leroy-Merlin apportent des nuances chaleureuses.

Guest bathroom

A free standing bath chosen to fit the narrow space, with floor standing gold Lusso Stone tap and Tom Raffield light in walnut to complement the shelf and towel hooks
