This is what great collaboration looks like at this stage of a build.
This morning was about drapery — a floor-to-ceiling track on that window, and a conversation with the workroom about how best to handle it before anything goes into production. Where it lands, how the fabric stacks, how it sits alongside stone at that height. Twenty minutes standing in the room settled things that could have gone back and forth over email forever.
The lighting control is already in and set, so once the drapery is motorised the natural light and the electric light will move together through the day. A television is still to come onto the stone wall, and the sound in this room will be genuinely lovely.
What the family ends up with is a room that responds to how they live in it. Morning light without the glare. The room softening as the evening comes on. Quiet on a Tuesday, full of people on a Saturday. Everything that makes it possible stays out of sight.
