6. Simplicity of design requires natural material to achieve its goal of understated elegance. The modern home can benefit from the primary elements of stone, timber, plants and water. Mitate strikes a balance between efficiency of new products and the renewable nature of primary material. The result is a home that provides sustained inspiration and simple luxury.

10. Opportunities for storage abound in every nook and cranny. The practical side of the Mitate design values function over form. What is revealed behind the wall or under the floor can be as useful as that which is in plain sight. Stair treads double as drawers, floor cavities can hide emergency provisions and walls can open to disclose ample room for those holiday decorations.
