Conflict

Arriving in a building, or leaving it, you need a room to pass through, both inside the building and outside it. This is the entrance room.

Resolution

At the main entrance to a building, make a light-filled room which marks the entrance and straddles the boundary between indoors and outdoors, covering some space outdoors and some space indoors. the outside part may be like an old-fashioned porch; the inside like a hall or sitting room.

May contain Family of Entrances (102), Gallery Surround (166), Tapestry of Light and Dark (135), Built-In Seats (202), The Shape of Indoor Space (191).
