A designer understands the need for a public space within a residence, and this house addresses the needs of the designer as both a resident and a professional. The entry space of the house is tailored for a public audience, perhaps people coming to view her studio space/footwear designs. The private residence space feels sheltered and cozy, sitting quietly below the studio. Granted there are a few oddities, like the cutouts, I think the biggest disappointment is this "japanese room" which has been placed like a rug, covering excess floor space. It would take away from the gorgeous view, but perhaps it could use some dramatic integration, like a 'japanese style' paper wall/divider. And there's too much wood flooring, it doesnt quite go with everything else, conceptually... This house has the right kind of priorities.
