Notes from
the studio
Field notes on healthier materials, adaptable rooms and homes designed to hold their social, emotional and material value over time.
The room that can change
Across four homes and two climates, adaptability becomes the most durable form of sustainability.
The coordinates of home
Why a practice that lives between Chengdu and New York measures every room twice — once in meters, once in habits.
Designing for the long stay
Aging-in-place is not a category of products. It is a set of quiet decisions made twenty years early.
Materials before moodboards
A project that starts from images borrows its feelings. A project that starts from materials grows its own.
Veined marble
Grey veining that reads as movement without ever becoming pattern — and why we pair it with woven wool.
Pale oak & dark stone
A kitchen needs one material that forgives and one that anchors. Where they meet, craft shows.
Sheer linen & oak floor
The cheapest renovation a room can get is better light, filtered.
