Overview
Approach and arrival—how water, ramps, and framed views create a cinematic entry.
Threshold Design
- Waterfall cues sound and microclimate.
- Framed views build anticipation.
Sequence Notes
- Ramps ease pace and reveal sightlines.
- Door hardware and lighting mark transition.
Pause at the threshold: light and sound cue the transition indoors.
