Before you start

Create a conversation group near the entry and a quieter edge toward the garden or family zone.

Room details and site checks
Layout
Create a conversation group near the entry and a quieter edge toward the garden or family zone.
Detail
Use durable upholstery and more than one lighting circuit for gatherings and daily use.
Trade-off
A single flexible room saves area but offers less acoustic separation.
  • Check views from entry and seating
  • Test evening light at each activity zone
