The weekend home takes after the mistletoe plant-a curios parasitic species of nature that produces organic clusters in equilibrium with their host. To translate this botanical concept into architecture, the respective design meetings are an interlinked series of volumes constituting an assembly of spaces that plays with levels and forms in order to evoke the sense of clustering. This staggered-level assembly supports both connection and privacy, complementing the cluster nature of mistletoe.  
The interiors for the home are in style Japandi : a mix of Japanese minimalism and Scandinavian warmth. This design speaks of simplicity, natural materials, mixed textures, and neutral colors implying tranquility and peace. The interiors of Japandi perfectly balance the clustered nature of architecture, psychologically grounding their occupants, encouraging them to slow down and reflect. 
Together, the architectural form and interior scheme narrate a home that feels ingrained in nature and calm in an experience. Hence, the project becomes the weekend retreat where the metaphor of mistletoe goes beyond mere visual allusion into the exploration of connection, balance, and tranquility where the assembly of architecture and setting of interiors perfectly rhyme.
