On Lunchbox, House with a Guest Room in Redhead, near Newcastle, does away with the usual hallway. Three simple pavilions hold the living room, a bedroom and a guest bedroom, separated by a courtyard and a covered deck. Those in-between spaces become places in their own right, to pause, sit in the morning sun and stay connected to the outdoors.

See House with a Guest Room on Lunchbox below.

A House with a Guest Room is Created with Three Simple Pavilions

At this minimal home, the space in between the living area and bedrooms is just as crucial as the spaces themselves.
