This project was inspired by the work and life of naturalist poet, Mary Oliver, to design a home where quiet occurrences of nature are appreciated through an erosion of the enclosed, that with time, becomes a place of solitude.

 

Elements of the home blend in and share characteristics with the surrounding environment, a site in London nestled between the bustling city and a lush cemetery. An experimentation with custom furniture and casework was also in the scope of work, seamlessly carrying concept into form.
