Natural elements are woven into the space through carefully chosen materials. The stone-pattern TV wall is segmented with vertical and horizontal lines; the cabinetry evokes the delicate grain of veneer, while the wood flooring and fluted glass panels in aluminum sliding doors conjure the image of waterfalls cascading into a valley, striking against wood with rhythmic force.

These layered textures resemble the workings of the human mind—ever-changing and intricate—echoing the countless hours of thoughtful discussion between the homeowner and the designer. The emotional warmth and tactile qualities of the materials reflect the homeowner’s rational clarity as well as his heartfelt hospitality, creating a dialogue between logic and sentiment.
