My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Ideas for entry off an elevator into flat!

3 years ago

I live on the top floor of a flat in San Francisco. The elevator empties out into my flat. There is a space directly in front of the elevator that I don't know what to do with! It separates the front of the flat with newly remodeled kitchen and living room from the back of the house that has two bedrooms. I don't think a seating area would work as no one will sit there when the living room has a beautiful view. I want something that looks beautiful to greet my guests but I can't figure it out. As you can tell from the photos there are two doors on the left of the space that contain a water heater and electric room that can't be permanently blocked. I am hoping to get some creative ideas!

THANK YOU!! Janet
