Talk Subject
I’d like to talk about a new ‘“quiet luxury” in architecture, which isn’t about opulence, but rather about space, light, privacy, craftsmanship, and calm. Connection with yourself, others and nature. It’s a thoughtful design that feels effortless, rooted in quality, restraint, and a sense of place rather than excess.
