Flowers never stay, and the room learns from it.
Petals fall, time shows up, space changes with use.
Nothing stays. That’s what makes the staying matter.
The last few months have melded into a whirlwind of busy-ness for us.
But with her away now, and him unable to be with her, this is what the space looks like with work driving the midnight train —
— night spaces carved by the time of day; so productivity remains at the heart of how our work is experienced at home. That speaks to a design we both want to inhabit — one that encourages function and reflects the emotional state of its users.
We wanted our space to recognise the time of day — there should be a marked differentiation between how the spaces of the home are experienced in the day and at night.
We thought that was important for our productivities when engaging with interior spaces.
So we settled on an airiness that doesn’t just allow plenty of natural light to stream in, but also a considered interplay between the geometry of sunlight and how it charts the layout + textures of our design.
We love our greens — it adds life, colour, a counterpoint and even a warmth we want accentuating our space.
But nothing seems to survive under our care. Maybe it’s because we don’t have green fingers.
Anyhow, we’re thinking of a dog next.
One of the draws to our choice of a maisonette was what its vertical design afforded us — the flexibility of a bifurcation between the communal lower floor and the private upper one, while still spatially connecting the 2 in a cohesive, unified experience when we’re alone and we choose to.
It’s been a hot month!
And between work and putting our big day together, we’ve spent the better part of the last month locked up in our study.
Here’s a view we’ve become too acquainted with to notice its evolution in the last 4 months.
It’s New Year’s Eve.
And that means our month-long bake-off has finally come to an end.
So while we air our space from a lingering scent of butter, here’s wishing you and your loved ones a prosperous one!
