Sebastian Renel’s path to Cottage Country and Natural Plasters Master Craftsmanship is as unique as the amazing design effects he has demonstrated throughout his career.
Born in Alba-Iulia, Romania, Sebastian relocated to Montreal in 1990 where he later pursued studies in Science and Fine Arts at Dawson College. As an extremely creative soul, travel was his passion. His journey towards achieving the status of Master Craftsman took him to Japan with the love of his life Yuki. His strong connection to Japan remains a guiding influence as the Japanese have refined the art of Natural Plasters for hundreds of years.
In 2007 Sebastian became certified in Sustainable Building Design and Construction at Haliburton’s Fleming College, a groundbreaking program that has since revolutionized the landscape of building methods in Canada and around the world. For the past 12 years, Sebastian, Yuki and their two beautiful children live, work and play in the Haliburton Highlands.
