Design Services
Design as a spiritual return.
Most people don’t realize what this means until a room, bathhouse, corner, or garden begins to restore them. Until the space they live in starts helping them breathe, think, and settle again.
We create environments where space, soil, and soul come back into relationship—
and we solve the challenges others can’t: complex slopes, failing soil systems, and design puzzles that stall even seasoned architects and engineers.
Here, art, ecology, and structure move together in service of your life.
Design Journeys
Transformational Travel
Travel changes you—but sacred travel transforms you.
Our Design Journeys invite you into cultures where beauty is a way of life, where artisans work with devotion, and where the land itself teaches design, presence, and reverence.
These journeys offer deep learning, rare access, and encounters with light, craft, ritual, and place that continue to speak long after you return home. Our inaugural journey to Bali with guild member Hendrikus brought us to masters whose work is prayer made visible. We were moved by the healing, the humility, and the profound artistry of the culture.

The New Architecture of Renewal
Design for Healing and Restoration
Most bathrooms promise wellness but deliver sterilized routine— cold tile, harsh light, nowhere to breathe.
We build what those spaces forgot to be:
living sanctuaries that restore body, mind, and spirit through design that truly listens. Soft even to the touch.
Here, water meets red light, sound, scent, and vibration. Every surface is intentional—stone, real driftwood, fabric, and light— chosen to awaken rather than anesthetize.
These are not rooms of function; they are pavilions of renewal— places to linger, reflect, journal, stretch, breathe, and let the body remember ease.
This is not luxury for display. It’s architecture for vitality.
The Art of the Sacred Corner
Designing the Everyday Sacred
Most homes have corners that do nothing for the heart. Flat shelves, empty tables, forgotten walls — spaces that could hold life but don’t.
We transform those places into quiet centers of gravity: niches, tablescapes, and interior vignettes that gather beauty, memory, and intention.
Each design becomes a small altar of daily life— a reminder of what matters, a pause that steadies the room and the people in it.
It’s not decoration; it’s devotion made visible.
Landscapes of Living Memory
Design That Listens Back
Gardens that grow with aliveness and breathe with your breath. Land that can hold the worst of storms without harm. Soil that heals itself—stopping erosion without losing its wild heart. Vibrant plants, free from toxins and pesticides. Spaces where architecture and nature move in rhythm together.
Every landscape becomes a living reflection— a design that listens back to the legacy of your soul and your family.
For over forty years and across several continents, through partnerships within the Guild of Earth Artisans and master builder Hendrikus Schraven, we’ve shaped spaces from small sanctuaries to estates exceeding fifty million— each one alive, grounded, and unforgettable.
