“Inserted between private and public areas of the house at intermediate level, this double-height study is flooded with natural light from a skylight in the roof. The living room overlooks into this space, which opens out into the outer green at the second level and to views of the valley.

The neutral character of the architectural materials allows for varied pieces of furniture and art to sit effectively over it.”
