Floor plan of ROD House of Colour by Noke Architects

The home is primarily finished with redwood, slate, and mahogany.

The Muji Hut measures in at just about 100 square feet.

One of their vizslas, Nova, takes in the view from a built-in window seat in the studio suite upstairs from the workshop.

The workshop interiors emphasize function, with polished concrete slab floors and 35-foot-high ceilings to accommodate large projects and gatherings. The disco ball, set to spin via a smartphone app, can be lowered with an industrial winch and is visible from the overhead studio suite through a peek-a-boo window.
