Hi I'm looking for a solution to close a 9.6ft opening which connects the living room to the foyer. One idea we have is a sliding door which is about 6ft wide and have a 3.5ft fixed panel on the right side of the array) see floor plan. Anyone have ideas for how to plan for a door of this sort? And deign ideas for this door? I don't want to close off the view entirely. Ideally looking to mix wood, glass and paper cutout sandwiched between the glass.. The flooring will be white marble like tile (1m x 1m). Thanks!

Hello Honey, Please share your floor plan and pics to discuss your query. Thanks, Amit CORNERSTONE DESIGNS, Bangalore

Also it is not necessary to go for uPVC. I am preferring uPVC because it looks good. Any other good looking options are also welcome

Hello there, It seems you're in for a comprehensive vaastu compliant housing. Best of luck with your project. Let's see how it woks : 1. Number of windows and doors should be even when summed up. That is one principle. When you translate into modern architecture, they transform into cut-outs. Hence, however you design, the number of cut-out elements should be odd. That includes windows, doors, stairwell openings, central courtyard, vents and chutes, design cut-outs etc. That applies to all buildings irrespective of their styles because only with even symmetry, you could achieve a greater flux of cross-ventilation. 2. Other significant points to consider are ratio of door to window size, orientation, placement of furniture wrt windows and doors, main entrance vastu etc. Regards, Aurum Ideas and Spaces Bhubaneswar
