Set within an existing structure, this renovation was less about transformation and more about gentle revelation. Clean, crisp lines meet rounded contours, shaping a language that feels minimal, yet never severe. A softness runs through the geometry—edges eased, transitions smoothed—bringing with it a calm, almost hushed sensation.

The material palette leans deliberately cool: brushed steel, pale stone, powdery greys. But rather than distance, it creates intimacy. Through scale, detail, and rhythm, the spaces become human. Inviting. Even tender. It’s in the way a wall curves to hold a bench, or how the light pools across a soft-matte surface. Cold becomes cosy, not by contrast—but through care.

‍
We opened the plan to let the home breathe. Sightlines stretch, daylight drifts, and spaces speak to one another. There’s a new sense of flow—fluid, unfussy, free. But within that openness, moments of quiet stillness remain. The family who lives here moves with a gentle kind of togetherness—close, but never crowded. That spirit carries into the design: small nooks for reading, pockets for pause, corners where contemplation can take root.

‍
At the edge of the home, a garden room acts as a soft threshold—an invitation outward. Between it and the interior, we introduced a toko no ma: an open niche, both frame and filter. It marks the transition while allowing the rooms to interact—separate yet seamlessly attuned. Each space feels complete, but also part of a whole.
