Anyone know who that modular lounge is by?
Sorry, I had not finished.
As I mentioned, the use of plywood is simple, honest and somehow fits nicely with everything else. Kitchen cabinetry is beautiful. The use of glass upstairs around the ‘light well’ is wonderful; some privacy from sound but just enough visual connection to the ground floor and all of that light. The light fixtures and general lighting design is lovely and the concrete floor finish and color are great. Did I mention that I like this project?
The architecture is classic without being ostentatious. The entire project could have been designed for my architectural and personal tastes.
Congratulations to the the Architects and Interior Designers involved.

I find my self immediately discounting the image of a box with windows but I now respect the first exterior photo that I saw since viewing the balance of photographs. This is, personally, a lovely home. I say personally because I admire the client’s furnishings and objects. The home has an incredible amount of natural light. The use of plywood is simple and honest and somehow fits nicely into the scheme.
