Space
Space is what a house creates. Walls, floors, and ceilings exist to shape it. This is the part of the house you actually live in — the rooms, light, and atmosphere that support your daily life.
When most people think about a house, they think about walls, roofs, and materials. But these are not the true purpose of a house. Their job is to create space.
Space is what exists inside the structure. It is the volume of a room, the height of a ceiling, the way light enters, and the way one room connects to another. It is what you move through and what you experience every day.
Good space feels comfortable and natural. It supports the way you live without you needing to think about it. A well-placed window can make a room feel calm and open. A low ceiling can make a space feel quiet and protected. The size, shape, and connection between spaces all influence how a house feels.
This is why design and drawings matter. They are not about the walls themselves, but about shaping the space those walls will create.
Over time, space becomes familiar. You learn how light moves through it during the day. You learn where you like to sit, where you feel most comfortable.
The house becomes more than a structure — it becomes the setting for your life.
The house is the container.
Space is what it holds.
