A sturdy, masculine look to a landing. Beautiful to behold when making those billions of trips up and down the stairs, this area also offers the practical convenience of a soft place to land, rest, read, tie shoes. For children, random and secretive sort of places like this offer a very CS Lewis-ish space for create play.
A reading corner can literally be carved out of a corner. Wedge a chair diagonal in front of a book shelf, add a lamp and even a small round side table for setting a cup of tea. In the day, make use of natural light.
this is the kind of window seat I'm hoping for though want light not dark woodwork-- like lower ceiling and nook feel -- like big window that doesn't open--very inviting

Without the wings rising completely up the sides, the chair can be discretely placed on this landing and appreciated for both its utility and style, two hallmarks of the wing chair from its very inception.
