Care, as an expression of the concern for the wellbeing of others, of our personal relationships, but also of the space around and beyond us – our house, our world – is articulated through the ambience of the home. It resonates in the attention dedicated to the process and elements of building, the clarity of form and detail, and the organisation of the many aspects, material or ephemeral, that transform the structure into a place where our lives can thrive.

For Maison Osaïn, the architecture of life starts with the understanding of the nature and specificity of our everyday circumstances, the physical, spiritual, and emotional aspects that make up our well-being. In this sense, its approach is all-encompassing, as it comprises not only the material fabric that make up the home, but also all those connective objects and elements that bind our lives together. Colours and fragrances, warm textures and thoughtful designs combine into a unique, all-embracing and wholesome experience.

Authenticity in the Maison Osaïn home is reflected in the many ways the character of the original buiding is conscientiously maintained and articulated. It is further brought to life through the skillful combination of authentic elements with new and appealing forms and objects. It is expressed through the use of natural materials, organic colours and tactile textures, and the way they are meticulously brought together. The sense of authenticity is felt in every space, every furnishing element, every detail – it transforms the home in the way it reflects the personal values and lifestyle of those who shape their lives within it.

Light defines our living spaces as much as it defines our lives. It is brought into our homes through a play of open areas and closed spaces, connecting the inner life of the home with outside views and natural surroundings. Through this interplay transparency is created, an opening of views, an effacing of boundaries. In its approach to transparency, Maison Osaïn not only seeks to bring out the illuminating quality of light, but also a sense of openness in the actual journey that will lead to the creation of a home. It is characterised by an honest and open attitude towards the people, processes, and materials involved in the art of building, and a deep investment in our clients’ wishes, needs and aspirations.

We all bear responsibility for our natural environment and must interact with our planet in a sustainable way. All of Maison Osaïn’s creations originate in a practice that is steeped in respect for natural resources, the use of unprocessed materials, and a holistic understanding of sustainable production. It is a creative attitude that renders our relation to the world more authentic and meaningful.

Maison Osaïn celebrates beauty in all its manifestations, through sights, sounds and scents, through spaces that delight all senses, through fine objects and wares that elevate our experience of the everyday. Beauty, both in its aesthetic and emotional nature, brings our homes to life, creates a pleasurable atmosphere, and heightens our sense of belonging.

As we reconnect with the inner essence of our life in the way our home reflects our deeper values and experiences, we rediscover our deep and inherent connection with nature. Nature surrounds us, in the materials of our house and homewares, the textures and surfaces, the incident light and the way our spaces blend from inside to outside. Like our house, nature too, is our home.

The home, as a materialised reflection of our life and aspirations and the aesthetics of our lifestyle, becomes a sanctuary. Turning inward, within the sheltering embrace of our house, we are shielded from the affects of the world at large. Here, as our senses are soothed, we find quietude and stilness of mind. Nothing is more comforting than the tranquility we find through the expression of sincere living.
