When you enter a house, you are likely to notice the colours of the walls, the furniture and the lighting within those rooms. However, there is another element in each room that has an influence upon the feelings that are evoked, yet is often unseen by the individual entering the home.
The construction of a building can have an impact upon the building itself and its occupants.
An example of how design can be applied to create a more comfortable environment is by removing unnecessary walls from your home. For instance, removing walls between the kitchen, dining area and living space creates the sensation of a larger room within your home. On the other hand, if you have smaller rooms within your home, such as a bedroom or bathroom, then you may feel that your home is more cosy and private.
Another factor that can influence the comfort of a home is the materials that are used in its construction. For example, timber frame construction allows for very efficient insulation to be built into the walls of the home, which contributes to the home feeling comfortable throughout the year.

Another factor to consider when choosing a home is the natural light that enters. The location of windows in relation to other parts of the home can have an impact upon the amount of natural light that enters.
And then there is something harder to explain. Some houses just feel right.
The feeling of being at home is the result of dozens of different design and structural decisions.
