To accommodate the homeowner's desire to entertain guests while maintaining a need for private quarters, the design strategically optimizes communal areas by merging the living and dining rooms into a cohesive shared space. The wall behind the dining area serves as both a physical partition and a door. Taking inspiration from the homeowner's affinity for wooden tones, we transformed the wooden beams on the public area ceiling into American-style cornices. The flooring, embellished with a herringbone pattern showcasing the natural grain of wood, creates a distinct country-style ambience.
