Elegant Entryway: Function Meets Aesthetic
With practicality and convenience in mind, the home’s vertical and entry circulation was thoroughly reconsidered. ERA incorporated a new stairway, strategically located near the family entrance and garage. This design allows for easy access. The entryway has ample storage space that caters to the practical needs of a busy family lifestyle. It provides enough room for shoes, backpacks, and sports gear.

The idea was to enhance the interaction between indoor and outdoor spaces for an effortless flow, It’s the perfect space for hanging with friends and family.
