Windows

"The triangular highlight frames views of the old Edwardian pressed metal roof and chimneys," the architects say of the triangular window to the left. "Like a traveler reflecting upon their hometown from abroad, we look back at the original part of the house, see its foibles and imperfections, and love it all the more for these eccentricities."

The kitchen window looks out to stairs that lead up to a small roof terrace. The kitchen faucet is byDornbracht. The recessed lighting is by Guzzini.
