Set amidst the tranquil hills of Los Angeles, Kotton is a private residence that masterfully blends the serenity of Zen Japanese culture with the clean, bold lines of modern architecture. Designed to evoke harmony and balance, the home draws on the timeless principles of Japanese aesthetics while embracing contemporary openness and fluidity.
Natural stone walls, warm wood accents, and minimalist design define the residence, creating a space that feels grounded yet light. Inside, traditional Japanese elements are reimagined with a modern touch. Tatami-inspired flooring, handcrafted ceramics, and minimalist furniture offer spaces for mindfulness and reflection. A central courtyard features a single tree and a tranquil water element, serving as both a focal point and a retreat, inspired by Zen gardens.
This sanctuary is a seamless fusion of two worlds, where the meditative calm of zen culture meets the clean, contemporary lines of modern architecture. It invites its residents to live intentionally, surrounded by the beauty of balance, nature, and timeless design.
