How the room is composed

layout
Low, open rooms radiate from a central hearth, using partial screens and built-ins to preserve long sightlines.
materials
Roman brick, oak, art glass, plaster, bronze, wool, leather, and earth-toned handcrafted tile.
furniture
High-back chairs, long benches, rectilinear tables, and integrated cabinetry reinforce horizontal lines.
lighting
Deep eaves temper daylight while art-glass windows, bronze pendants, and table lamps spread amber light.
decoration
Abstracted plant motifs, geometric leaded glass, built-in planters, and repeated wood grids unify surfaces.
