About WJS

We're a dedicated team of interior designers and architects specializing in the thoughtful use of natural materials. Our goal is to create truly harmonious and inviting environments that promote well-being and balance.

Driven by a commitment to sustainability and aesthetic beauty, we proudly serve clients around the globe through our hybrid online approach.

Approach

Our design philosophy draws deeply from the principles of “Beauty in Imperfection”, embracing the inherent imperfections and transient nature of time, be they historical or contemporary. We believe that a every structure, with its layers of stories and weathered textures, possesses a unique soul. 

In the context of historical edifices, rather than masking these elements, we seek to accentuate them, integrating modern comforts seamlessly while respecting the building's original character. This approach honors the past while creating spaces that resonate with a timeless tranquility, fostering a sense of connection to both history and the present moment.  

We prioritize the use of sustainable and locally sourced natural materials such as reclaimed wood, hand-crafted ceramics, and natural stone. These materials not only contribute to the aesthetic richness of the space but also promote a healthier indoor environment.

Our approach to modern building design is informed by the same principles of authenticity and conscientious material selection. While acknowledging the distinct parameters of contemporary architecture, we maintain a steadfast commitment to sustainable and locally sourced natural materials, including reclaimed timber, artisanal ceramics, and natural stone. These selections contribute to both the aesthetic refinement and the creation of healthier interior environments across our diverse project portfolio.

By minimizing our environmental footprint and supporting local artisans, we strive to create interiors that are both beautiful and responsible. The resulting spaces are imbued with a sense of authenticity and warmth, fostering a profound connection to nature and a deep appreciation for the enduring beauty of simplicity.
