Art & Stone Group has been shortlisted for the Residential Project Value £1-2.5 Million Award in The International Design and Architecture Awards 2022.

Art & Stone Group have worked to make The Wabi-Sabi Home bright and airy, keeping a minimal yet comfortable and organic feel. Natural materials and textures to bring life to the home with a Scandinavian and Japanese essence. It maximises the space available, and allows each space to be useful in everyday life.

Built in a gentrifying neighbourhood alongside homes around nearly 100 years old, it was crucial that it was kept true to the roof styles in the others around it, letting this home stand out because of its beauty and not because of its shape. As a home for avid travellers that was built during the covid pandemic, the spaces and finishes were created to feel like many of the places they love travelling to. The main floor’s kitchen, dining and living had to be open as the homeowners love to entertain, and the house needed two comfortable offices for them to work from. They also wanted many areas within the home where each family member could retreat to, without it being in a bedroom, so Art & Stone Group have incorporated two beautifully cosy nooks, one on the bedroom level, and the other in one of the offices. There are four bedrooms on the second level and a suite in the basement for visitors.

The kitchen is the heart of the home. It has a seemingly minimal look to it though it has intricately worked details; master cabinet makers created all the millwork to ensure that the details Art & Stone Group envisioned were done to perfection. The 3-sided waterfall island can be used as a bar for cocktails, but also offer a large unobstructed surface for food preparation. The lower level of the island pulls from the typical Japanese style restaurant, which is one of the clients’ favourite places. Elsewhere in the home, the master bath feels airy and natural with its egg-shaped tub, open curbless shower and expansive ceilings leading to a huge vanity with 7ft custom mirrors, alongside 3 milky glassed Luceplan lighting fixtures. The main bath on the second floor plays perfectly with the angle of the ceiling while keeping the space practical.
