Fully utilizing natural light was a big priority in envisioning this home. Five different shades of gray are the centralized palette, with differing levels of gloss playing the light in strategic ways. Windows on one end of the living space fill the entire room with light, assisted by well-placed mirrors. The herringbone wooden flooring and light gray concrete floor also increase the visual size of the space.
