TODAY’S TOPIC
When a renovation stalls, most people think the solution is structural. They might knock something down, move things around, or start over.
But sometimes, the real issue goes beyond the floor plan.
In this newsletter, we explore what it means for you when the design your contractor plans for you doesn’t align with how you live.
We'll cover:
• What energy and friction mean in a spatial context
• How to read your home's friction points — with or without a designer's eye
• Why the rooms that feel hardest to fix are usually doing the wrong job
Today we’ll focus on Section 5 - Energy and Friction Mapping of the Designing Beyond Aesthetics Workbook.
