Central to the concept of Wabi-Sabi is a minimalist aesthetic that embraces the naturalistic, the rustic, the imperfect. For the doctor-couple's home, this meant that the wall separating their living and dining rooms had to go, like surgically removing plaque from arteries. This opened the space up, allowing them to then give the dining room a dual use as a reading nook flanked by a bookshelf built into the wall dividing the dining room from the master bedroom. A foldable glass door can separate the reading room from all other spaces without hogging up any of the natural light.
