The bedroom floor is one part of a larger whole. The Warm Modernism Residence also includes a ground floor with a kitchen and island, formal dining with a service pantry, a living room with a library wall, a home office, mudroom, laundry and garage, plus a lower recreation level with a planted lounge, billiards, a gym, a tiered cinema and a sauna. All three levels were planned together, so the upper floor could be kept strictly private. Marian Vist set the bedrooms apart in mood from the brighter living spaces below. Corridors stay short, and every room has its own storage, so clothes, toys and linens never migrate into shared space. A bedroom plan starts with three questions: where does the bed face, where does daylight come from, and where do things live. Answer them in that order and most of the furniture places itself.
