Pam Williams, a former library director, is now retired and lives here on her own.
THE PROPERTY
Located in the Chown Pella warehouse, which was built in 1910 in the Pearl District of Portland, Oregon, the apartment spans 100 square metres. It features an open-plan living room and kitchen, snug, bedroom and bathroom.
KITCHEN -DINER
‘Pam collects mobiles, so we found this new one for her,’ says designer Mira. ‘I knew it would be perfect; it moves very slowly and has a wonderful presence.’ Dinner parties are held here and the mobile and bespoke cabinetry form an elegant background for entertaining.
