Few, if any practices can combine the art of monumentality with a sense of lightness. But at PopovBass, the two are finely intermeshed – with houses that ‘touch the earth lightly’ while at the same time, provide ‘shelter from the storm’.

Preferring to express architectural richness with spaces and materials rather than by superfluous decoration, there’s great intent and consideration with every design. And while the word ‘luxury’ is overused, a word synonymous with expensive materials such as marble, for PopovBass, luxury stems from the light and, as importantly, the way a home feels, from the moment one rises until one goes to sleep at the end of each day.
