Why sustainable?

We are concern about the nature and want to use ecological and ethical materials and production methods.

Why functional and timeless?

The space has to look good, facilitate its purpose and use over time, as well as be easy to maintain.

Why modern style with a local element?

We want the visitors to have extraordinary experience where they can enjoy the modern solutions yet feel the local culture and environment. We also want to help in keeping alive the local craft, so that the old skills and traditions won’t disappear.
