The window was already there and already the reason to buy the house. It faces the dune, which moves, so the view is genuinely different every year.

Nothing in the room is taller than the sill. That is the whole rule, and it is the reason the sofa is low, the vase is where it is, and the storage runs behind you as you sit.

The one strong colour is a cushion. It was an accident of a sample delivery and it stayed, because on a grey afternoon the room needs somewhere for the eye to rest that is not the weather.

Every good roomstarted as a conversation.
