The client asked for a room to read in. Not a library, which is a room for books, but a room for reading, which is a room for light.

## The window

North, tall, deep-set, with a seat in the reveal. North light is flat and does not move across the page as the day goes on. It is the light painters ask for and readers are given by accident.

## The chair

Made by a joiner in the village to a drawing we did on site, at the height that puts the page in the light and the reader's back to the wall. It does not move. Nothing else in the room does either.

## The rest

Shelves on the wall behind the chair, out of the light. A rug. A door that closes. It is the smallest room in the house and the one the client talks about.
