01/Who you are

A reading.

You see things other people miss. You jump from one idea to the next. Your mood follows the weather. You need stimulation to feel alive and too much of it breaks you. Routine bores you. No routine destroys you. You are looking for a structure flexible enough to hold a wandering mind. Your nervous system is calmed by variation. Light that changes through the day. A ceiling that goes up in one room and comes down in the next. Materials that talk to each other. Surprise inside the routine.

02/The space that heals you

Six ingredients.

  • 01Variable ceiling height. High in living, lower in sleep.
  • 02Zenithal light. Skylights, clerestories, double-height windows.
  • 03Mixed materials. Warm wood as the base, with one cooler counterpoint.
  • 04A vertical move. A loft, mezzanine, or strong stair.
  • 05Refuge corners hidden inside open spaces.
  • 06Acoustic generosity. Music breathes here.
