The first piece of domestic architecture I chose was an entryway from the front door into the living room of my grandmother’s house. The space includes an arch that divides the two rooms, although the space feels open. The space also includes some homely decorations, such as a chandelier, family photos, a houseplant, and a rug among other items. The space serves its function as a domestic space because it is the first impression of her house that visitors get to see. It does feel welcoming and bright, and it feels unique even without its decorations and furnishings. I don’t think the space needs any sort of changes or updating. The room is a great way to get a feel for the rest of the home’s appearance and floor plan.
A different space that I enjoy inhabiting regularly is my dining room. Compared to the other space above, this space has a more open structure and is darker in terms of design in comparison. The space’s function is for my family and me to eat our meals, socialize, or to use the table for work. Since it is at the center of my home, the dining room table is a great place to just sit and talk. At times, the space can become crowded as more people stay in it. I don’t prefer one space over the other, but I do utilize the function of the dining room over the entryway. I enjoy residing in both rooms and they simply achieve their goals in different ways.
