The dining area skylight opens to
the playroom downstairs, allowing
light and the sound of family to travel
between floors. The playroom is also
considered the family room, an area
that the children are starting to use
more as they get older. This space is on
the garden level and is connected from
the main floor by a staircase made
of material salvaged from a walnut
tree that had to be removed from the
backyard. Mike had the idea to include
built-in storage beneath the daybed,
which is located under the stairs and
houses the kids’ toys and games.
