Every apartment I’ve lived in had one good corner. Not the biggest room or the one with the view, but a small spot where the afternoon light landed just right.
Designing for the hours, not the square metres
We describe rooms by size and layout. We almost never describe them by how they feel at four in the afternoon. Yet that is what we remember years later.
Now, when I move somewhere new, I spend the first week watching where the light goes. Then I put a chair there.
