Water, light, and thresholds

The relationship to water gives this retreat its central theme. Broad views and deep stone thresholds establish a dialogue between the room and its setting. The interest lies in the transition: a place to pause between the sheltered interior and the landscape beyond.

Reading the space

Notice how a long view can give a room direction without filling it with objects. A restrained palette lets changing daylight become part of the interior’s character.
