“Wabi-Sabi is a beauty of things imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete. It’s a beauty of things modest and humble. It’s a beauty of things unconventional.” -Leonard Koren, Wabi-Sabi: for Artists, Designers, Poets & Philosophers

Set in a traditional residential neighborhood of Houston, this single-family home combines the beauty of natural materials and simple modern forms. The roughness of cedar siding is balanced by a quiet and peaceful interior. An open floor plan facilitates flow through the space, culminating in an expansive roof deck, which overlooks mature bamboo and pecan trees.
