Most houses have too many doors. Each one interrupts a view, blocks light and asks you to make a small decision. Over time those decisions add up to a house that feels closed.

Keep the doors that matter

We keep doors where privacy or sound genuinely needs them — bedrooms, bathrooms, a study. Everywhere else we replace them with openings, deep reveals or simply nothing.

The result is rarely more open-plan. It is more legible: you can read the house from where you stand.
