Open living
Cedar cladding on the one wall that could take it, and a low sectional that never breaks the sightline to the window. The beams got a warm stain so the ceiling reads as a plane, not a set of lines.

Downtown Loft
Nine hundred square feet under a pitched roof, planned so nothing has one job.
A single volume with a vaulted ceiling, one structural wall and no hallway. The brief was two people, one dog, and friends for dinner twice a week. We zoned it with floor level and color instead of partitions, so the ceiling stays whole.

Room by room

Kitchen
A dark island doubles as the dining table when the folding doors are open. Everything tall lives on the back wall so the room keeps its ceiling height where you stand.
03
Dining corner
A slatted oak screen marks the end of the kitchen without closing it. Four chairs in a deep teal, a table small enough to move, and a pendant hung low so the corner feels like its own room after dark.
04
Sleeping platform
The bed sits on a raised platform with drawers cut into the risers. Upholstered tiles in sage and tan replace a headboard, and the brass line drawing on the charcoal wall is painted, not wallpapered.
