It’s like having the best of both worlds … right at your fingertips.
On one hand, there’s our deep-rooted need for shelter — shaped by nature and guided by our common sense.
On the other, the power of our modern wisdom—using technology to make smarter choices, lighten our footprint, and live more consciously every day.
And woven through it all?
Beautiful design and sustainable furniture ideas that bring everything together.
“A decade after starting my design journey, I’m raising my family in our lovely, healthy eco-home.
The walls are plastered with clay from our garden soil, we have a constant flow of fresh air without the need to open a single window, and instead of turning up the heating when winter sets in, I’d rather bake a cake to warm up the house. The scent of herbs and the gorgeous colours of perennial flower beds drift just outside the window.
This is the life I imagined! Now, let me help you create yours. Are you ready for the ride?”

How big should your ideal home be? When you imagine the perfect home size, is it a spacious house with a backyard for summer barbecues, or a cosy apartment where every nook has a purpose?
