This house is entirely open but has visually defined spaces

The open spaces are flexible. The front rights corner is being used as office, but could also be large dining area.

Everything is by design in this Heights home, even the window opening to naturally lit hall.

What is zen in home design?

“Zen design embodies this minimalist philosophy, making use of natural materials, patterns of light and space, and a near-monastic rejection of clutter. A Zen home is meant to be relaxing, contemplative and visually balanced and appealing. The ideas for structuring a life work just as well for interior design.”
