A "hatchway" connects the living room horizontally to a superficial spot in the stream via the stairs perceptible in the picture. The living room opens onto the veranda in the center from double doors on either side of the hatchway open to the sky, and also extends horizontally stairwell, those on the left are set back.

The fencing above adds to the vertical theme of the hatchway. It is into the living room, two of the many suggestions of the continuity of inside and outside. Supports visible under the terrace were a temporary measure while repairs were made.

Most important in the photo is the sitting area, which includes a long built-in upholstered bench accompanied by cushioned modular seating. A similar, longer work surface extends practically the full width of the living room, under the "front" windows at a right angle to the window in this picture. Cushions on the benches and in the modular seating are stone white or autumn colors.
