The most personal space in the house is the library/piano practice space that is open to the great room. Hundreds of books line three walls that embrace a concert grand that Laurie plays daily, much to the delight of her border collie puppy, Emma. Unlike the large expanses of glass elsewhere in the house, the space is softly lit by three trapezoidal windows placed under the sloping roof, protecting Laurie’s treasured heirlooms and travel mementos from direct sunlight while offering a view of the sky from the piano bench.
