The House, Room by Room
Every room has its own discipline — the conversation geometry of a living room, the light control of a primary suite, the acoustics of a golf simulator lounge. This collection gathers our room-specific thinking across the whole house.
Each essay treats one space properly: how it is used, how it is built, and what separates a considered version from a conventional one.
