Concealed storage along the walls of the interior corridors maximize space and help maintain a clutter-free look.

The entry floor now boasts the striking Hex Clip pattern from Clé Tile. Horner also installed custom shelving and a floating bench, both fabricated from birch plywood.

The home boasts a traditional Japanese genkan, an entryway that's a couple of steps down from the main level.
