The home's second-floor escape is designed as a retreat from busy gathering spaces, with its own private sitting room, balcony and queen-sized bed positioned on an axis with the main bathroom.

An upper cabinet and dresser form the room's entertainment center, with a flat-screen TV concealed behind panel doors and drawers beneath the cabinet dedicated to storage of media equipment and accessories.

A gilded, European-style chandelier, a fixture repeated in both sitting room and bedroom, lends femininity and creates a dramatic focal point.

Ductwork chases form an architectural frame around the bed. Drapery placed in the niche enhances the headboard and carves out a cozy, cocoon-like space.
