This home suffered from a poor layout.  The front door, pictured right, opened to a small, dark entryway .  To the right was the master bedroom; to the left, a hallway, pictured below, that led to the sunroom.  The office, pictured below, was a small, dark room. 

Walking into the home did not feel good.  First-time visitors felt confused, as they had to walk down a long, dark corridor to enter the main section of the home.  Additionally, the energy was stuck, because it could not flow correctly.

The solutions were as follows: the entry door was removed and a skylight was added; the air conditioner and window in office were removed and replaced with a glass and wood front door;  and two walls in office were removed.


Old hallway



Soon-to-be foyer, this was an office.

The results were astounding!  The door leading to the old entryway became the private area of home and the entry way became a meditation room outside the  master bedroom.

The glass front door had a profound affect in the home.  The old sunroom was very long and narrow and the new, open floor plan created a welcome entrance to the home as well as a very comfortable living space.

The glass and wood doors and the wall of windows in the sunroom bring the outdoors in, with plenty of natural sunlight.  Further, this room is sparsely and naturally decorated to give an Asian and organic feeling.
