Invitation“Sato turns the sunlit underside of lotus leaves and water refraction into living liquid glass.”
How do chemical-free biophilic ponds stay clear?
Lotus-root regeneration zones, volcanic gravel and silent laminar circulation keep the water crystal clear year-round.
Do you design indoor water installations?
Yes: bespoke acoustic water mirrors with calibrated overhead light that casts natural caustics across ceilings and walls.
