THE CLIENT WANTED MORE SPACE. THE FLOOR PLAN DIDN’T NEED MORE SQUARE METERS | | |
One of the most common requests in residential design is:
“Can we make it feel bigger?”
And the instinctive answer is often to add more square meters.
But more area does not automatically create a better space.
Sometimes the real problem is:
A corridor that consumes too much room.
Furniture blocking circulation.
Poor visual connections.
Too many unnecessary partitions.
Or natural light that never reaches the center of the space.
Good architecture is not always about adding.
Sometimes it is about removing the things that make a space feel smaller than it actually is.
A better layout can completely change the perception of the same footprint.
Would you rather have a larger house — or a smaller one that feels significantly better designed?
