Houses
Courtyard homes planned around a single still centre: a pool, a tree, a square of sky.
Architecture & interiors · Kyoto / Lisbon
Order, then quiet.
We design buildings that ask nothing of you. Symmetry first, stillness second, and light for everything else.

- I
Symmetry
Every plan starts on a grid of one hundred squares. Nothing moves until it has a twin.
- II
Stillness
We take tiles away until the room stops talking. What remains is the form you came for.
- III
Light
Soft contours, no glare. Daylight is drawn across a surface the way a hand is drawn across water.
Practice
Three scales, one grid.
Retreats
Bath houses, meditation halls and guest pavilions where the architecture lowers your voice.
Objects
Stone tiles, lights and furniture cut to the same module, so the room and the chair agree.
