The brief
A room that graduates with him.
He had outgrown a kid's bedroom long before his family did. He wanted a place to practice, listen to records and unwind, and he wanted it to still feel right when he comes home from college.
- Deep navy on every surface, walls to ceiling, so the room feels calm and finished
- The closet rebuilt as a lit media wall with storage for clothes, records and cases
- His instruments hung as art, with music prints over a long walnut dresser
- The keyboard placed under the window for daylight practice
