"To create a Zenlike space, we wanted to use light colors,"
Richardson says. "The Ultrasuede we got can be finished very durably
and cleaned easily — they've lived there for three months and
it still looks like new." The antique French doors had to be rebuilt,
since much of their wooden frame had rotted away; the architects also
had to find a craftsman still making plate glass the nineteenth-century
way (in other words: wavy) to replace a pane broken during construction.
UT picked the scarlet rug to inject warmth into the cool room; set
into the white oak floor, the dense pile (industrial-grade wool, from
Bentley) forms a continuous surface. The woven chair at rear is a
vintage piece, designed by Poul Kjaerholm. |
