The holiday season is our favourite time of year to wind down and make warm, cosy memories — this year more than ever. We adapted our lifestyles to take more care of ourselves and one another and this in turn, helped us make changes major and minor.

As far as dream teams go, few have proof of concept like Tania Singh Khosla and Sandeep Khosla. Thriving in their individual and collective spheres, they represent a take on design and architecture that is at once singular, signature, and universally desired.

As longtime friends and collaborators of Himêya, we’ve looked to them often for notes on how to build a home and a life. Below, a window into their creative spirit and their dance between less and more

A hallmark of good design is its ability to last. The moment to make low-impact choices about materials and production is at the beginning of the creative process.

Freedom.

A seven-letter word that means different things to different people.

As an independent artist and urban ecologist, Ditty’s music is inspired by the natural world. Her insightful lyrics and sublime timbre are compelling enough, yet what resonates most with us is her coupling of sustainability with creative expression. Whether raising funds for water conservation or charting a conscious touring model for artists that offsets carbon emissions, she is pitch perfect and a girl after our own hearts.
