through the home (why foyers are often in homes) Should be located near/adjacent to dining room

Size & Arrangement Well planned – avoids circulation across conversation areas

Living rooms seem larger when patios, porches, decks, or balconies are adjacent

size, so we “scale” them down so that they will fit on a piece of paper.

All measurements (dimensions) are reflected in one common scale.
