Architectural Scale, architecture Westchester cty and Fairfield cty

Sometimes when planning a renovation to an existing residence or choosing a new home, people believe that soaring spaces create a feeling of openness and grandure. But I have found that these huge spaces with extremely high ceilings lack the feeling of coziness that people innately crave. There is a sense in most people of human scale. While on paper, designs that incorporate large open indoor spaces, whether residential or commercial, have the occupant feeling somewhat lost and uncomfortable and unable to relate to their surroundings. This is especially true in a residential setting. After dealing with the pressures of daily life outside the home, most people want to come home to a comforting living space which gives a peaceful feeling. Hard surfaces and high ceilings with no architectural detailing and a perception of being out of human scale often do not provide a relaxing setting for the occupant. It is important for anyone considering a renovation or new home to remember that someone's artistic vision for your space or the latest architectural fad must translate to the homeowner's sensibilities and how they want the space to serve them.
