Hernandez and Surratt relax in the living room, which is enlivened by the house’s internal topography. A short flight of steps divides the interconnected areas and offers a place to sit. Above is a loft that can be converted to a bedroom.
The sleeping space is set off with curtains instead of a door to foster an open feel on the ground floor. Bedding from West Elm and a quilt made by Magill’s mother sit atop a platform bed, also from West Elm. The red chairs, originally from Ikea, were another inexpensive secondhand acquisition. The deck chairs feature reversible canvas slings by the fashion designer Julie Brown.
