Reading nook / Indoor greenery

When

While Kille didn't get a separate bedroom, MR Studio was able to fit in a California king-sized bed into the space, complete with its own integrated curtains for privacy.

A bed in the studio provides a place for guests to sleep. The plywood floor is painted white.

The ceiling drops down significantly over the built-in bench in the living area to create a cozy nook. “Like the kitchen, it’s a space within a space,” Thomas says. The wooden boards are flush with the window frame, allowing the sun to wash down the wall.

“When it came to designing the inside of the home, we wanted to have your eye continue on through the glass instead of landing on a lot of details,” comments Liz.

For the floor of the exterior terrace, cotto tiles were replaced with marble from the Greek island of Tinos.

The original wood-burning stove warms the home, now in front of Zellige wainscoting and a floor lamp by UM Project.
