A design practice for private residences
Light, shade,
and the hours
of a house.
The practice
A house is not one room in one moment. It is the same rooms returning through the day in different weather and different light. Cordelia designs that whole arc: the lighting, the shading, and the quiet choreography that binds them, so a house knows what to do at noon, at dusk, and at two in the morning.
We work alongside architects, builders, and integrators on new houses and remodels, and we return to finished houses where the light, the shades, and the controls were each designed well but never designed together.
Olive Hill — one house, designed hour by hour.
