Room for Drama · Which room

The whole house

The pieces that are not about one room, because the problem was never in one room.

50 pieces, across every category on the site.

Circulation between rooms, a palette that has to survive being seen through a doorway, a decision made in the hall that the living room then has to live with. Some arguments only make sense at the scale of the whole plan.

This is also where the method sits: how to look, what to measure, what order to change things in, and how to tell afterwards whether the change worked.

Same room, sorted by what is actually wrong with it.
