A sustainable approach to building your dream home or renovating your existing home is entirely possible and will result in lower energy costs for heating and cooling, and increased comfort.

MILMILA YOGA STUDIO The Hill of Deep Stillness, Milmila, is a serene yoga studio designed for the training of yoga leaders by Yoga Kula Master Sei Kim. Using concrete and wood to fashion a peaceful spot in the middle of Seoul, the studio “reflects the physical properties of a tree that has been carefully trimmed to focus on the unity and communion of the self”. Oversized windows punctuate Milmila, which is cocooned in floor-to-ceiling wood panels.
