Room for Drama · What is wrong with it
You keep bumping into it
The route through a room is furniture you cannot see, and nobody ever allocated it any width.
98 pieces, across every category on the site.
If somebody turns sideways at the same point every day, that is not a habit. That is a clearance the room does not have, paid for in small daily friction nobody complains about out loud because it has no name.
Give the route its width formally, as a decision, and design the room in what is left. One honest walkway and a smaller seating group beats a generous seating group that everybody edges around.
Same problem, one room at a time. Every one of these is a URL you can keep.
