Project Details

This is the second in a series of Wabi-Sabi houses, set in a residential neighborhood in Houston, Texas. The house follows the similar philosophy as the original Wabi-Sabi House in combining the beauty of natural materials and simple modern forms. Constructed of Chinese cedar, Wabi Sabi Two has a more intimate living, dining and kitchen space with views of a vine-covered trellis, a wall of bamboo, and reflecting pool. There is also a rooftop terrace with views of the semi-tropical garden. The home represents a commingling of Eastern and Western aesthetics and a sensual use of materials.
