Ravenna Garden House Entry Hall

The entry to this modern home is protected and screened from the main living spaces so people have a moment to acclimate. The flow of the spaces is natural, practical, and elegant. From the entry zone, you pass by the hidden stair and then open into the main living area. This creates a contrast of smaller and bigger spaces as one enters the home, a centuries old tradtional architectural design strategy found all over the world, from England, to North Africa, to East Asia.
