“COMBINING THE PROPERTY’S RUSTIC, MIDWESTERN ROOTS WITH A CALM, SEDUCTIVE FEEL WAS THE GOAL, THOMPSON SAYS. INSPIRATION FOR THE COLOR PALETTE CAME THROUGH A VISIT TO YAKUSHIMA, AN ISLAND IN JAPAN THAT IS DEEPLY WOODED AND DENSE. “A JAPANESE INSPIRATION AND PHILOSOPHY OF OPENNESS AND EXPLORATION,”.
THE RESULT IS AN AESTHETIC THAT SKILLFULLY BALANCES A VARIETY OF TEXTURES, INCLUDING INJECTING SHOU SUGI BAN CUSTOM TREATMENTS INSPIRED BY JAPANESE PRINCIPLES OF WABI-SABI THAT TYPICALLY EMPLOY ELEMENTS OF ASYMMETRY, ROUGHNESS, AND SIMPLICITY. THE “MOOD BOARD,” AS THOMPSON DESCRIBES THE INTERIOR SCHEME, IS MEANT TO ACCENTUATE THE VERY NATURE OF FALL, GENERATING A DISTINCTIVE EMOTIONAL RESPONSE TO THE SEASONAL SHIFT.
