Hugh Lofting Timber Framing provided the structural trusses and tongue-and-groove decking for this Bonsai Studio in Kennett Square, PA. These Douglas Fir trusses were designed with solid king post and curved glued laminated bottom chord to provide an elegant finish. Glued laminated timbers are extremely versatile and strong and can make possible dramatic shapes and curves, which would be almost impossible with normal timber stock. Photo By: Jim Graham

Embarking on the design journey of Wabi Sabi Refuge, I immersed myself in the profound quest for tranquility and harmony. This project became a testament to the pursuit of a tranquil haven that stirs a deep sense of calm within. Guided by the essence of wabi-sabi, my intention was to curate Wabi Sabi Refuge as a sacred space that nurtures an ethereal atmosphere, summoning a sincere connection with the surrounding world. Deliberate choices of muted hues and minimalist elements foster an environment of uncluttered serenity, encouraging introspection and contemplation. Embracing the innate imperfections and distinctive qualities of the carefully selected materials and objects added an exquisite touch of organic allure, instilling an authentic reverence for the beauty inherent in nature's creations. Wabi Sabi Refuge serves as a sanctuary, an evocative invitation for visitors to embrace the sublime simplicity, find solace in the imperfect, and uncover the profound and tranquil beauty that wabi-sabi unveils.
