KC010

PROJECT IN PROGRESS.

Raw photography showcasing a guest bedroom for project KC010, showing a custom slatted full height staircase railing, bespoke entry doors, level 5 smooth walls in a soft white, east-asian in reference and intention. Clean, calm and sculpture.

Brought on mid-build, this project presented a unique opportunity to step into an already established architectural framework and carry it through to completion with clarity and intention.

Building upon the existing design direction, we refined and elevated key elements throughout; reworking lighting packages, guiding material installations with precision (including detailed slab layouts and vein alignment), and ensuring cohesion across every touchpoint.

From there, we introduced a series of defining moments: a custom entry door, a monolithic, river pebble–inspired fire feature within the landscape, and a fully bespoke furnishings package that brings warmth, scale, and a distinctly personal layer to the home. The result is a modern, East Asian–inspired mountain retreat that feels both grounded and fully realized.
