Design Philosophy
Material Honesty Over Fleeting Trends
1. Breathable Envelopes
Lime renders, mineral paints, and natural timber cladding maintain moisture equilibrium and patina gracefully across seasons.
2. Proportional Balance
Respecting lower cottage ceilings through horizontal sightlines, recessed cabinetry, and intentional architectural reveals.
3. Layered Utility
Every built-in joinery element serves dual purposes—combining seating, perimeter storage, and heat distribution channels.
