Project brief

One room for living and eating, with the stair left open through it rather than boxed away behind a wall.

The living and dining sit end to end under a single run of ceiling, so the stair — glass-balustraded, lit along its treads — reads as part of the room instead of an interruption in it. A steel-framed glazed partition closes the room off the hall without darkening it, and the palette stays pale and warm throughout: marble, fluted panelling, brass, and grey upholstery against it.
