MORENO STUDY

A home study in a mid-century house in the Silver Lake hills. The wall defines the room: brick with raked joints, cedar boards above, walnut shelving with light concealed in each shelf, and a hearth set into the brick. The desk is a kidney-shaped walnut table with a lamp and a laptop, so the study feels like a room first and an office second.

Brick bearing wall with a raked joint, cedar boards on the plane above, walnut built-ins with concealed cove lighting, a flagstone floor laid tight, and glass to the courtyard on the fourth side.

Warmth without clutter. Each object in the room is chosen with care, and the light comes from the shelves and the fire, never from the ceiling.

A room dark at its edges and warm at its center, where work belongs to the life of the house.
