Coming from the entry, you pass a space with the stair on the left and a built in console table on the right. This space acts as a “vestibule” transitioning from the protected entry zone to the main living space. We call this a “breath” or “pause” to allow people to acclimate to the interior spaces of the home. This is an example of a traditional design strategy used in modern architecture.

The entry to this modern home is protected and screened from the main living spaces so people have a moment to acclimate. The flow of the spaces is natural, practical, and elegant. From the entry zone, you pass by the hidden stair and then open into the main living area. This creates a contrast of smaller and bigger spaces as one enters the home, a centuries old tradtional architectural design strategy found all over the world, from England, to North Africa, to East Asia.
