This is a very informative and helpful lesson explaining why some spaces just look and feel better. I will keep this one and subscribe today!
I found little use for this. It's sort of obvious, isn't it, that connecting two rooms without a wall in-between makes them feel bigger? The part on site-lines: The text didn't feel like it matched the picture. Was that a window over the bathroom sink? If so, how could one use it as a mirror? Strange.
This could have provided a LOT more info about how architects think and plan -- this was too basic and short (for me).
Like many of the videos on Fine Home Building they are very short and really just become sound bites not all that informative.More in depth videos would prove their worth.
This is a GREAT video...not sure what some of the other commenters were viewing, but as an architect AND a contractor, I find this to be spot on. Great information...thank you Mr. Holscher & Fine Homebuilding!
