When it comes to custom home design, ADA’s philosophy combines the latest in modern energy-efficient building technologies with the timeless traditions of Japanese design. This includes the concept of wabi-sabi (侘寂) —wabi may be translated as subdued, austere beauty, while sabi conveys the ideas of rustic natural patinas and weathering over time. In practical terms, wabi-sabi in home design is characterized by an authentic combination of natural materials, organic forms, an abundance of wood, light-filled open spaces, a strong connection to nature and an overall sense of understated luxury and comfort. A wabi-sabi ADA home stands the test of time, its beauty enduring over the ages.
