We moved the wall 12 centimeters, and the client asked if that was really necessary.
On paper, it is nothing.
But in the room, it was the difference between a doorway that almost lined up with the window and one that led directly to the garden.
Walk through it now and your eye travels through.
Move it back and you face a wall.
The client never noticed the wall move.
She only said the house felt right and couldn't explain why.
The difference between a house that feels right and one that doesn't is smaller than a hand width.
