BACK ROOM — THE BRICK, LEFT ALONE

The old house had four small rooms and a corridor, and everyone stood in the corridor. Taking it out was the first drawing and the only one nobody argued with.

The kitchen went to the north end deliberately. It is the part of the room used with the lights on, and it left the whole south wall for sitting, which is what the site is actually for.

The island is a metre longer than the cooking needs. That extra metre is where the summer eating happens, and it is why the dining table can be small enough to move.

Every good roomstarted as a conversation.
