A Wabi-Sabi Georgian Home in New Albany, Ohio

Designed by Hackett House Studio, this New Albany, Ohio home is a thoughtful study in contrast: modern and traditional, moody and refined, textural and tailored. The project, aptly named Wabi Sabi Georgian, began with a classic Georgian-style home and a pair of clients whose styles leaned in slightly different directions. He was drawn to a more modern, wabi-sabi sensibility, while she favored a traditional point of view. The result is a layered first-floor renovation that honors both perspectives while bringing new function, warmth, and character to the home.
