About Material & Technique Showcase

Ever wonder why we’re so hooked on Shou-Sugi-Ban or hand-cast terrazzo? It’s not just about the aesthetic; it’s about how these materials behave and endure in real living spaces. Whether you want the sleek, airy feel of heat-bent acrylic or the raw, earthy texture of charred ash wood, we treat every material as a design challenge to make your furniture last while looking stunning.

The play of light and shadow is a key element in our designs. In Amber House, the afternoon sun streams through the vertical wooden railings, casting graphic patterns on the walls and floor, transforming the architectural structure into a living piece of art.9
In Cocoon House, we designed the staircase to be more than just a functional element. The combination of white marble, a light wood handrail, and custom brass and wood balusters creates a sculptural feature, while a simple niche with a vase of flowers adds a moment of beauty.
Craftsmanship is at the heart of our work. This close-up from the Grid Pavilion restaurant shows the intricate joinery of the custom wooden ceiling grid, a detail that adds structural beauty and a sense of order to the dining space.
We believe in the beauty of simple forms and honest materials. This detail from the Grid Pavilion shows the gentle curve of a Jaisalmer stone base meeting a polished teak wood surface, a quiet moment of material harmony.
