Discover the quiet luxury of Zen and AD House, where minimalist aesthetics meet practical living. These projects balance raw industrial textures with the warmth of natural wood to create calm, light-filled sanctuaries in the heart of the city.

The living room of Zen House features grey micro-concrete floors and walls, which create a seamless, monolithic backdrop. This is balanced by the warmth of a statement wooden bench made from a single piece of East Indian walnut.

In AD House, we used black-framed glass partitions to separate spaces while maintaining a sense of openness and light. This view from the entrance into the living room frames the space like a picture.

The living and dining space in AD House uses a darker concrete finish for a moodier, more intimate feel. The warmth of the ash wood dining table and chairs provides a necessary balance.

The informal sitting room in Zen House serves as a retreat for music and relaxation. The L-shaped sofa unfolds into a bed, making this versatile room a jam space one day and a guest room the next.

We created a dedicated guitar wall for the client's collection in the Zen House jam room. The instruments become functional art, displayed against a white painted brick wall for a touch of industrial texture.

The drawing room at Zen House features simple, clean lines with classic shaker-style wardrobe doors and a comfortable sofa bed, ensuring the space is both elegant and highly functional.

The master bedroom in Zen House features our custom four-poster bed in black ash wood. The room is zoned into sleeping, study, and reading areas, with a transition from concrete to wood flooring to define the cozier corners.

About Project Showcase: Zen & AD House

You will notice a deliberate flow in these homes: we use seamless grey micro-concrete for the communal living areas to create a sense of openness, then transition to warm ash wood flooring the moment you enter the private bedrooms. This is not just about aesthetics; it is a functional strategy to make your home feel expansive where you socialize and inherently cozy where you rest.
