This page: Bronwen’s studio, with fitted<br />
bespoke shelving made by Matthew Smith<br />
and fitted desks from Unto This Last<br />
loo, basin and shower on either sides of a central pod (with<br />
that storage at each end again), a striking difference from<br />
most bathrooms, where all the fittings are round the edges,<br />
with space in the middle. It’s very effective. When you<br />
walk round the pod, you find a tub bath on the other side,<br />
perfectly positioned looking up to the hill.<br />
Back in the sitting room, the full scale of the house, with<br />
that magnificent ceiling height is apparent again, with<br />
a huge woodcut of Brooklyn Bridge by Simon Packard<br />
doing it justice. The furniture in here is mid-century<br />
classics with a B&B sofa, two Charles Eames leather<br />
chairs with footstools and the less well-known and very<br />
striking Etcetera 1972 lounge chair by Jan Ekselius.<br />
This one is black and there’s a cream one in<br />
the master bedroom. “Bronwen found them,”<br />
says Steve. “She’s a furniture detective.”<br />
I try it out for size and, settling onto its welcoming<br />
organic shape, look around me and wonder how long I can<br />
reasonably stay there. The rest of the day would be good…<br />
This house is an extraordinary achievement. Not<br />
just a lovely home for one family, it is a legacy for<br />
future generations and an inspiration for everyone<br />
who has ever dreamed of their own grand design.<br />
