Modern Monochromatic Den
The den serves as the hub of the Houde for this family. Opposite he picture window is the TV. Behind the chaise is a fireplace, bar and game table. The prior set up had two identical facing sofas that did not relate to the other functions of the room. By simply choosing a matching chaise opposite the sofa, and choosing the dimensions of them to be lower, the room came together as a multi-use space. No longer does the bar and game table feel isolated, they work together to invite guest to sit where they choose, at the same time, they are a part of the action. Photography by Jonn Spradlin
