On the opposite side of the courtyard, the master suite has a clerestory of unobstructed glass that brings daylight into the rooms from the central sky lit courtyard. A flexible and multi-functional space was created within this compact 1600 square feet using pivot and pocket doors, steel plate “blinders” that hide the kitchen function, and concealed media equipment that pivots out for use. Closet walls behind compositions of paneled wood, benches with flip-up tops, and linear wall-to-wall cabinets provide convenient storage. contemporist
