About WJS
We create spaces that embody "The Art of Refined Fusion." Our work blends the serene harmony of Eastern design with the timeless luxury of the West.
Our Design Philosophy
We believe that every building has a unique story, and our philosophy is to celebrate its history and character rather than hide it. We honor the age and natural flaws, weaving them into a harmonious blend of past and present.
Our Approach
For Historical Buildings: We highlight a building’s original character and weathered textures. Instead of covering up historical details, we blend them with modern comforts, creating a peaceful space that connects the past with the present.
For Modern Buildings: We apply the same principles to modern design. We still use authentic, high-quality materials to create honest, healthy, and lasting spaces.
Materials & Sustainability
We are deeply committed to using natural and sustainable materials like reclaimed wood, natural stone, bamboo, and recycled glass. This commitment not only enhances the beauty of our designs but also reduces our environmental impact. By creating a more sustainable environment, we design spaces that feel authentic, warm, and deeply connected to nature.
