Design Philosophy
This design employs Biophilic immersion to bring the outdoors inside. It uses Pleonasm by reiterating natural elements throughout the space. The goal is a deeply connected, naturally occurring environment. Every surface and object supports this organic narrative.

Light Study
Morning light streams in from the outdoor patio, illuminating the living wall's dew-kissed leaves. The linear fixture mimics a bright sky, providing full-spectrum light for plants and space. In the evening, this fixture casts soft, even illumination, maintaining a consistent natural glow.
Living Vignette
A guest reaches out to touch the cool, broad leaf of a plant on the living wall. The soft rustle of leaves provides a quiet backdrop to conversation.
Material Palette
Reclaimed wood: It feels sturdy and textured, developing a rich patina with use.
Woven cane: It feels airy and flexible, gaining character as it subtly loosens over years.
