Chapter I · The house in brief
A timber warehouse, kept in ink.
Built in 1926 for the Hollander Timber Co., the warehouse stacked cypress and oak three storeys high for half a century. The beams that carried the timber now carry the house — fourteen rooms cut into the frame without moving a single post.
We run it the way a good register is kept: plainly, precisely, in ink. Tariffs on the wall, breakfast till noon, and a desk that answers.

The long table, laid till noon
Chapter II · Mornings
Breakfast till noon. We mean it.
Sourdough from the lane, butter in slabs, eggs how you take them, and the long table that decides the day's pace. The pass pours the roastery's beans from seven; the last plate goes out as the clock touches twelve.
Mornings, in fullThe house's guide to the lane
Everything worth walking to, ten doors either way.
Faro Bros. Roastery
Two doors down. Roasts on Tuesdays; the whole lane smells like a promise.
The Odeon Lane Cinema
Across the lane. Two screens, one projectionist, programmes we argue about at breakfast.
Brill & Daughter, bookbinder
Our mezzanine tenant since the conversion. She bound the register you'll sign.
The Saturday makers' market
End of the lane, eight till one. Go early for the good bread; we already took ours.

Fourteen rooms. They go.
The register fills weekends first, then the Kiln Suite, then the rest. Your dates will tell you the truth faster than we can.
