A corridor marked by a large fashion photograph and a gilded baroque mirror above a slim console acts as a threshold to the private wing. Christopher Alexander describes this gradient from public to private rooms in A Pattern Language: by the time you reach the bedrooms, the energy of the living room is left behind. The primary bedroom connects to a walk-in wardrobe with open oak shelving, warm integrated LEDs, glass-front drawers and display for bags and shoes. Light built into shelving removes shadows, so colors read truly when dressing. The primary bathroom is finished in stone. A secondary bedroom has its own shower bathroom, where a monolithic sink of black-and-white veined marble stands against grey marble walls under a round backlit mirror. Backlighting gives soft, even light on the face, far kinder than a single downlight.
