Material choices mattered. We used certified plywood from sustainable European forests (Garnica ply), low-VOC MDF (Medite MDF), and no-VOC, low-impact stains and finishes (OSMO) to reduce environmental impact while maintaining durability and quality.
3D sketching played a key role in the process—helping bridge the gap between idea and reality, and making it easier for both clients and builders to fully understand and collaborate on the vision.
