A MEDITATIVE ESCAPE

The downstairs flex studio is a multipurpose, spacious area that can be outfitted to play a variety of roles in the home such as a playroom, a media room, or used as a separate living space as its own suite. Because the lot is sloped 10 feet from street to rear, the flex studio and surrounding rooms were designed to be tucked under the bulk of the home, preserving more landscape, and reducing impervious surfaces. Included in the space is a full bath that is accessible from both the entry hall as well as the studio and can be closed off if desired for privacy. Mashburn’s goal was to create the perfect get-away, and surround guests with things that move and inspire them. Her own design aesthetic was inspired by nature to provide comfort, connection, and an uplifting Zen sense of rightness. Originally meant to just house the air conditioning vents, Mashburn converted the back room off of the flex studio into her own personal meditation room with candles, an original chalk mural, and reflecting mirrors creating a peaceful and quiet safe space.
