About The Art of Arrival: Foyers & Passageways

When designing a foyer, we focus on the transition from the external world to your private space. We often use directional floor patterns, such as marble inlays or geometric wood layouts, to subtly guide movement. This grounding effect tells the mind that the chaotic pace of the day has ended and a place of rest has begun.
