About Wabi Design

Wabi Design was founded by architect Dr. Esteban Beita, whose work bridges the traditions of Japanese architecture with the creativity of modern living. After earning both his Master’s and Doctorate degrees in Japanese architecture from the University of Tokyo, Esteban spent years in Japan studying temples, tea houses, and gardens to understand how architecture can live in harmony with nature. His research explores how light, shadow, and spatial boundaries create environments that breathe with their surroundings and inspire a sense of calm and belonging.

​

At Wabi Design, these ideas are translated into contemporary projects that express simplicity, balance, and emotional depth. Each work, whether a serene home, a meditative pavilion, or a landscape retreat, reflects the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi, the beauty found in simplicity, imperfection, and the passage of time. The goal is not only to design buildings but to create experiences that connect people with their surroundings in meaningful ways.

​

Drawing on both traditional craftsmanship and modern visualization tools, Esteban uses virtual reality and immersive media to help clients experience their spaces before construction. This process allows for a deeper understanding of form, light, and atmosphere, leading to designs that feel timeless and alive.

Wabi Design invites clients who seek more than architecture, those who wish to live in harmony with nature, light, and space, to experience how design can become a reflection of their own sense of tranquility and purpose.
