Living Room Ribbon Fireplace Recessed Lighting Design Photos and Ideas

The sunken living room features a multifunctional piece of built-in furniture that integrates a sofa, sound system, and television, and also contains a "secret door" that leads to a wine cellar. "[We incorporated this] as a clin d’oeil to the midcentury tradition of built-in work stations and bookshelves," says Morales.
Inside, the voluminous living area features a double-height fireplace clad in cedar and large-format tiles—both of which are echoed along the facade as well. Full-height windows wrap around the opposite corner, providing an abundance of sunlight and helping to naturally heat the space during wintertime.

The two simple volumes are intersected by an internal courtyard that maintains visual transparency between the front and back of the home.
Measuring 2,018 square feet, the single-family residence has been tenderly cared for since its completion, offering a unique chance to step back in time. With a ribbon of transom windows along its front side, the midcentury also has an expansive windows spanning across the back.
A corner window unit in the living room offers a full view of the  swimming pool, with narrow sight lines and a slim corner post. Additional windows wrap around both sides of the room.

The sprawling residence opens itself up to the garden at every opportunity, allowing for a breezy outdoor connection.
Subtle curves introduced throughout the design, such as in the built-in casework and stone plinth, soften the geometric plan of the home.
The home's living room is a midcentury-inspired oasis.
