MWAI

London-based practice MWAI constructs a visual dialogue between crisp modern stone additions and weathered historic masonry, balancing sharp geometric interventions with continuous interior joinery across cultural libraries and historic lodgings. This portfolio serves as a strong reference when detailing contemporary stone insertions against heritage facades or specifying linear circulation elements that cut cleanly across sloped terrain.

Close-up interior detail showing a fluted stone washbasin, wall-mounted brass fixtures, and a circular mirror with integrated globe light by MWAI.

Trulli Maa historic restoration

A refined interior detail precedent demonstrating the pairing of fluted raw stone washbasins with warm brass hardware and organic plaster walls—ideal for boutique hospitality or residential bathroom design.

What we like about this project
The integrated circular globe overlapping the mirror edge creates a sculptural composition.
