Room AI – Zen Mudroom with Bamboo Fountain and Earthen Walls -

Rooted in wabi-sabi restraint, this mudroom pairs earthen clay walls flecked with straw with woven bamboo sliders. A skylight and paper lantern soften the narrow volume as stone pavers in gray gravel lead past a black-stained bench and brass hooks. At the end, a bamboo spout feeds a stone basin set in raked sand beside a ceramic jar.
