The brief

A retired couple wanted one room in the house dedicated to reading, music and doing nothing at all.

The design

We began with how the space would be used hour by hour, then set a restrained palette of natural materials so the architecture and light could lead. Custom millwork hides the everyday, and a layered lighting plan gives every zone its own mood.

Every decision came back to one question: will this still feel right in ten years?

The result

A quiet reading room with sheer linen, a low lounge chair and built-in shelving for a lifetime of books. The project was completed on schedule in 2023.
