Anahata, a residence inspired by biophilic design, designed in collaboration with Kebony

Here, every architectural gesture promotes a connection with nature. Abundant natural light, cross ventilation and open spaces blur the boundaries between inside and outside, while the omnipresence of wood shapes a natural bridge between the house and its environment.

Biophilic architecture aims to strengthen the innate connection between humans and nature by integrating light, vegetation, water, and natural materials into the heart of spaces. Singapore's Jewel Changi Airport is one of the most iconic examples: its indoor forest and impressive waterfall transform a simple transit hub into a soothing experience.

For its inhabitants, Anahata is a haven of peace, conducive to relaxation and contemplation. The black-framed windows punctuate the facade, while the floor-to-ceiling windows offer light, fresh air, and panoramic views.

Kebony x Bio-Tile Group: the alliance of aesthetics and sustainability

Outside, modernity and elegance blend with discretion. The Kebony Clear shiplap façade elements, supplied by Bio-Tile Group, allow the building to integrate seamlessly into the surrounding vegetation.

“In our view, the Anahata project illustrates the importance of material choice in architectural storytelling. Guided by biophilic design, the residence reflects our vision: to combine sustainability, longevity and aesthetics. Kebony wood enriches the sensory and structural dimension of the house: its natural warmth and understated elegance blend perfectly into the surrounding landscape,” explains the brand.

Kebony's patented technology, developed in Norway, transforms softwood from sustainably managed forests by modifying its cell walls using a bio-based liquid. The wood thus acquires the qualities of tropical hardwoods, while minimizing its environmental impact.

Sustainable integration for a virtuous project

At the heart of the house, a central patio invites nature inside. The sunshades, ceilings, flooring, and baseboards made of Kebony wood not only enhance the durability but also the authentic character of the residence.

Designed according to bioclimatic principles, the project prioritizes natural ventilation and light, thus reducing its dependence on mechanical systems and guaranteeing environmentally friendly performance in all respects.
