a home conceived as a pause
BREATH ART, CREATE LIFE
Those who live somewhere
want to love where they live
and to live with comfort,
love, and beauty,
whatever they may be

curiosity
and movement
are nourishment
for our work.
A HOME THAT CHANGES WITH US
we seek a rich and varied repertoire
for singular spaces,
embracing the personality,
emotional memories,
and dreams of the people who live there.

THE ART OF BEING HAPPY
Sometimes I open the window
and find the jasmine blooming.
Other times, I find thick clouds.
I see children going to school.
Sparrows hopping along the wall.
Everything is just right,
in its place, fulfilling
its purpose. And I feel completely happy.

URBAN FOREST
STILLNESS
there is no space
that greenery does not have
the power to transform.

AN OASIS in the heart of the city
to dwell in the house
in the house’s soul, someone
arrives by chance
