Why is your home the smallest, coolest space?
Originally built in 1920 to provide housing for workers in war-related industries across the city, it is simple and solidly built. My goal was to create a spaciousness in the limited footprint and a modern sensibility that didn't detract from the yesteryear charm or functionality. I love that it feels neither an inch too big nor an inch too small.
How does your home reflect you?
I'm an artist; my studio is five minutes away. I spread out there, make a big mess, and then love to come home to my simple sanctuary. There's a few worn pieces, a few new ones, much family art, an Ikea hacked sectional that sleeps four, stools that double as plant stands, and a punched-hole light that fills the little hall with tiny stars at night. Best of all is the porch, my own little nest in the trees.
