Fuse indoors and outdoors at each entrance

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:22:12 GMT

Builders embrace the fact that flexible space and cohesion between the indoors and the outdoors are hallmarks of today’s living. In fact, new-home design plans began answering the need for indoor-outdoor transitions before homebuyers actively demanded it.That’s especially true in the Bay Area and Northern California, where nature is as much a part of our lives as family is.Over the past few years, new-home construction has emphasized greater use of natural light. Juxtaposed with metals, glass, woods, concrete and light-colored stone the result is a sense of welcoming brightness from the threshold through to the back patio.Although curb appeal may play a part in first impressions, people generally live in the homes they buy, not on the curbs in front of them. That’s why each entrance to the home provides an opportunity to set the mood, the ambience or the tone for what comes next.Front porch and walkWhether it’s a walkway to a few concrete stairs, a long front porch or a courtyard th...
