How high above the floor are the top of the windows? Assuming these are standard 6'-8" doors, it appears the top of the windows are at about 7 ft above the floor. How far does the soffit drop down from the ceiling? Is that a 9ft or 10ft ceiling? »

The organized circulation of the home is evident in this view.
added by Bud Dietrich, AIA to High Style for Real Life
Insist on structure. Rather than being mazelike, the rooms in your home should be organized in a clear and intelligible way so that you can easily move from room to room and easily find what you want.
And soffits become intentional rather than afterthoughts because we need to hide the pipes and the ducts.
