“We edited down until the house just became a pure white box,” Rogers says. “By the end of it all, we rethought everything except the internal walls.” The bright, skylit master bedroom is accented with Richard Woods’s iconic grains, which grace the floor.Photo by: John Short -
“The amount of work that was done to get things to look so naïve was phenomenal,” Rogers says. “We are quite hedonistic in our play on space.” This custom sofa offers a soft landing for the roundabout slide, which emerges from a trapdoor in the master bedroom above.Photo by: John Short -

“The staircase is the hub, the soul of the project,” Rogers says. “It’s meant to be enjoyed.” From the ground, the steps start with the cool colors of the earth, then get warmer as they reach up to the sky.Photo by: John Short -
