Explore residential planning cases about adjacency, circulation, sightlines, privacy, transitions, and shared boundaries across modern living layouts.
Key question: “What does this room need from the rooms around it?”
Explore empirical layouts, sightline friction indexes, and acoustic boundaries that govern residential circulation and functional privacy. Every case is documented as a Room Relation Map — the core unit of analysis used throughout this fieldbook.
Direct entry sightlines to living or service chambers cause immediate acoustic and visual friction. An intentional decompression foyer acts as a programmatic filter, organizing shoe storage, coat drop-off, and guest orientation before revealing the core volume.
Low visual intrusion from foyer threshold.
Decoupled door placement attenuation.
