A bedroom at sunset, oxblood walls, a large linen bed with red throws, a bench at its foot and a brass pendant. Off brief in its main idea: the whole end of the room is open bifolds looking west to the hearth and the chimney, where the brief gives the bedroom no view out at all, only a high clerestory to the courtyard and a rooflight over the bed. There is no rooflight in the shot, the bed runs the wrong way, and Ronnie's cubby is missing.

The sleeping unit

23.4 m² on the north side, private, with the sky overhead rather than a view out.

The notes

rendered

3.0 by 7.8 m inside, about 3.6 by 8.4 m outside, 23.4 m². The living unit looks out. This one looks up.

The courtyard face has only a high clerestory band, which lets in sky and keeps the bedroom private from the courtyard. The rooms run east to west.

shower room

1.5 by 3.0 m, with a level walk-in shower and a single glass screen. The walls and floor are stone-look porcelain, and there is a rooflight over the shower.

walk-through wardrobe

About 1.2 by 3.0 m, with storage on both sides. You go through it to get from the bedroom to the shower room.

bedroom

3.9 by 3.0 m, 11.7 m². That is above the standard's 11.5 m², and the room is wider than its 2.75 m minimum. The king bed goes across the 3.0 m width with its head on the north wall, which leaves standing room on both sides.

The rooflight is over the bed. It is triple-glazed and acoustic laminated, with a motorised blackout blind. This is where the sky comes into the house.

Ronnie's cubby is built into the foot of the bed frame, padded, with a small step up to the bed.

The walls and ceiling are oxblood, like the living room, and the floor is engineered oak over underfloor heating. Bedroom textiles are not decided yet.

study

1.2 by 3.0 m at the west end, with a door that closes. The window is to the side of the desk, with an external shutter or blind because the low evening sun comes straight in from the west. Warm off-white and pale oak, the same as the other study. Storage here is not decided yet.

not settled

Sheet 03 draws a door from the walkway straight into the bedroom, and a swing door to the study. The brief lists both as proposals, not decisions.

01 · A bedroom at sunset
A dark stone-look shower room: a walk-in shower behind a single glass screen, a wall-hung WC, a stone basin on an open oak vanity, a lit mirror, and a tall window onto the hills. The taps and shower are brushed brass rather than matte black, and it has a window to a view rather than the rooflight over the shower in the brief.

Sleeping unit plan, sheet 03, at 1 to 50, 3.0 by 7.8 m inside, north at the top. East to west, the shower room with basin, WC and walk-in shower, a walk-through wardrobe with storage both sides, the bedroom at 3.9 m with a king bed head to the north wall under a rooflight, Ronnie's cubby at its foot and a step beside it, and the study at the west end with a desk on the north wall and a window in the west wall. A door from the walkway comes into the bedroom on the south side, and the south wall carries a high clerestory band along its length.
