CELTIC
This 20,000 square foot home features a unique design inspired by the patterns of Celtic knots. The exterior and interior of the home incorporate knot-work details, using tile work, metalwork, and textiles. The open floor plan and large windows allow plenty of natural light in the living areas. Additionally, the home seamlessly integrates indoor-outdoor living with multiple areas for entertainment and relaxation, that allow residents to enjoy the natural beauty of their surroundings.
The dimensional layout of the exterior is reminiscent of the layering found in the knots. Structural columns are implemented to add visual weight to the elongated exterior. Mirroring the same peekaboo courtyard found in the kitchen, the living room is a great place to introduce the outdoors. While lounging around on an oversized sectional, residents enjoy the experience of indoor/outdoor living.
Encouraging outdoor connection, the upper level utilizes balconies for communal and private spaces.

OMOTENASHI
Omotenashi, a term derived from the Japanese language, is an expression of the concept of Japanese Hospitality. It is embodied in a boutique design that blends the elements of Japanese brutalist architecture with traditional Japanese architecture accents. The resulting design is an exquisite representation of the harmonious union between modernity and tradition. The influence of brutalist architecture is evident in the clean lines and bold, monolithic structures, while the traditional Japanese accents impart a sense of warmth and familiarity to the space.
Taking inspiration from Japanese brutalist architecture, the Omotenashi Hotel mimics silhouettes found throughout this iconic architectural era. The design has hints of traditional Japanese elements to soften the rigid design elements. The lobby is predominantly focusing on the strong vertical and horizontal elements from the top two images. The walls are designed to be as dimensional and intriguing as the structures above whether it be through textured elements like decorative metal mesh or concrete-styled plaster.
The guest room design implements the cultural emphasis with the forms and finishes of the furnishings and wall coverings. The concrete-styled plaster is a representation of the concrete predominantly used in brutalist architecture. Traditional elements can be found within the room to support comfort and beauty in the space. Framing the headboards, a delicate charcoal wall covering separates the rigid elements of the concrete walls and metal structured headboard.
Designed after the slated dimensional elements in brutalist architecture, the built-in closet doors are a repeating element from the lobby’s back reception wall to create a cohesive flow of the public and private areas. A custom carpet design was inspired by the traditional Japanese textile pattern, Same Komon, to bring a feminine accent to the design. The credenza was selected to pay homage to a unique element found in the architecture that inspired the design concept, cubed extrusions with circular elements in the center. Separating the closet and credenza, a traditionally styled bench uses curved legs to add to alleviate strong rigid forms.
