We want our house to be accessible so we are thinking about building all on one level. How can we add some "excitement" to our design without floor level changes?
One way to add visual interest is to vary ceiling
heights throughout the house, especially between rooms
that open into each other, so that the relative intimacy
of different spaces can be felt. In particular, ceiling
heights in rooms that are most public or meant for large
gatherings should be 10 to 12 feet high, lower in rooms
for smaller gatherings (7 to 9 feet), and lower in rooms
or alcoves for one or two people (7 feet).
