Lounge

A 46-inch spray of Italian ruscus can take a centerpiece to new heights. Displayed in Afloral’s creamy gloss ceramic vase, the gorgeous branches make a dramatic impact alone or part of a larger arrangement.

In the living room, the team raised the firebox, cladded the hearth in a tactile plaster finish, and installed a floating limestone bench that wraps the column. On the left (unseen) is integrated firewood storage, and a cozy reading nook sits on the right. "The bench was designed to be used as a social space/lounge, and is well-used," says Coffey. The wood beams and red brick were scraped and stripped many times to remove the silver paint and reclaim a natural state.

The living room is complete with an Akari 120A pendant by Isamu Noguchi and a Vitsœ 606 Universal shelving system that holds a collection of design objects gifted and purchased.

Ashley’s husband, David, lounges with some good reading material near the entry.

The family room displays Ashley’s reference materials and heirlooms, including a porcelain vase made by her grandmother.

Stainless steel with a mirror polish covers the “moving wall” in the dressing room, which opens to one of the bedrooms.

"The low floor with the outside makes moving equipment into the house easy, says Momono. “We often do television shoots at home, and the crew that comes thought the kitchen would be prefect for filming. We decided to do a cooking shoot in our house and ended up filming an overnight stay at a farmhouse!”

A Hans Wagner Rope Chair, West Elm credenza, and Noguchi Akari UF3-DL Standing Lamp round out the primary bedroom.

Built-in wood shelving under the television has an opening for the plant pot.

Daniela and Francisco are a psychologist and engineer by day (respectively), but they’d almost always rather be outdoors. They’re avid hikers and passionate about sustainability, so when they had the chance to build an off-the-grid vacation home on a rustic lakeside patch of land in Southern Chile, they jumped on it.

Floating wood shelves accent the fireplace wall and link to the nearby kitchen.

Removing the partition wall makes it so the entire living space benefits from the natural light that comes through the floor-to-ceiling glass in the living room, increasing the sense of indoor-outdoor flow throughout. A sofa from Article is joined by art from Lynne Millar for Juniper Print Shop and a vintage credenza.

“The clients’ main priorities in their lives consisted of: their kids, their friends, their food,” says the firm. “We knew we had to knock down the wall that separated the kitchen from the living room to create one big, open space - this immediately created ease of flow.”
