When Reitsma and Associates designed the McGovern Residence in Queensland, Australia, they decided to include a sunken lounge in the living room.

The sunken feature has steps that lead down into the seating area, where plush upholstered seating and cushions wrap around the interior. A more form fitting and structured cushion meets the concrete flooring, making sure there aren’t any hard edges seen or felt.
