Asteria Cold 1 / DQS Collection featured in natural stones by Mosaique Surface

A modern West Coast landscape in Vancouver blending clean architectural lines with lush, layered planting. Large-format paving, natural stone, sculptural boulders, integrated lighting, a subtle water feature, and contemporary outdoor seating create a calm, highly functional garden that feels both refined and connected to nature. The design draws on Scandinavian and Pacific Northwest influences, balancing minimalist hardscape with soft, textural planting for year-round interest.

Seta was coined with the desire to experiment and the intention of astounding the end users as they observe and touch it. Its name is due to a thread which is repeated on all the surfaces, to produce the perception of scratches on plain-coloured slabs. The concept is very similar to that of the Collection line, but in this case the material involvement is different.

This master bedroom was designed to encompass an owner’s suite with grey and white tones. The painted maple custom cabinetry flanks the bed to store away all of life’s essentials without seeing them. We used a faux alligator skinned fabric to wrap the custom headboard horizontal panels. LED lighting was used throughout the space to make for a cool energy efficient room. This space is a bright comfortable bedroom fit for the king and queen of this residence.

M-S Pro Architects announce the completion of an indoor swimming pool in a state-of-the-art, single storey family home set in a picturesque location on the outskirts of Bratislava - one of Europe’s youngest capital cities. Kebony, a beautiful wood recommended by leading architects, was chosen to craft the ceiling of the swimming pool, which is designed to emulate rippling waves as well as for the terrace deck and structural beams. Sustainability and a desire to recreate the close proximity often seen between wood and water in the natural environment were primary focuses in the design of this project. This led a requirement for a low maintenance wood, compatible humidity and with advanced durability, for the swimming pool ceiling. In addition, a high level of precision when cutting the wood was required in order to achieve the desired appearance of waves. Supplied by Leading Market, Kebony was carefully selected for the pool ceiling, which consists of 490 lamellae of timber, due to its versatility, durability and environmental credentials. Kebony was also installed throughout the exterior of this property, both for the spacious outdoor terrace and the exterior and interior beams. One of the reasons to choose Kebony was the unified look of wood in all these different applications. Developed in Norway, the patented Kebony technology uses an environmentally friendly process, which permanently enhances the properties of sustainable softwood with a bio-based liquid derived from agricultural crop waste. By polymerising the wood’s cell wall with furfuryl alcohol, the wood gains greatly improved durability and dimensional stability, giving it characteristics similar to those of tropical hardwood. In creating a wood with comparable properties to tropical hardwood that can be grown in a FSC certified, sustainably managed forest, the demand for tropical woods is reduced, allowing timber to once again be an important part of sustainable construction. Tomáš Hubinský, Lead Architect at M-S Pro, commented: “From conception through to completion, the creation of this ceiling has been a real feat. Despite the challenges faced by such an intricate design, Kebony was the perfect material to convey our desired effect of waves rippling along the ceiling. We will continue to incorporate Kebony into our interior and exterior designs, with wood fast becoming the first choice material for all architects.” Mette Valen, Sales Manager Norway at Kebony, explained: “The distinctive nature of this design cleverly portrays the capability of Kebony, demonstrating both the aesthetic and performance qualities of the product. We would be honoured to work with M-S Pro in the future and look forward to seeing how they utilise Kebony in their future projects.”

Custom patchwork cowhide rug made in natural hides, especially for Jeannie. She came with an idea and sketch for a custom rug for her vacation home in Aspen, CO. Once the final design was decided, we selected may hides that would look very similar between one another and cut every patch by hand. This is the result of a very custom, handcrafted, special job! :)
