The brief

A client working from home three days a week needed a proper workspace that could still host guests.

The challenge

The room was small, faced a busy road, and had to do two jobs without feeling cramped.

Our approach

A wall of joinery holds books, a fold-away desk and a concealed guest bed. Heavy linen curtains soften the street noise, and warm, layered lighting makes the room work day and night.
