nben1, Hi, I would open a 42" to 45" opening on both ends of the wall between living and study. That would leave room for a TV with components in a unit below. A desk would be nice in the back left corner of the study, with art or photo above, a chair in the back right corner and a chaise or small sofa on the wall behind the tv. That would make everything look roomier and make the study more inviting. In the living an L shaped seating would be nice floating with a small console behind. Good luck!

Eco-friendly, green homes help reduce energy usage. Ashwin Architects provide design and architectural services for residential and commercial constructions in Bangalore. The issue of sustainability & green designs gets relegated to the second spot because the first question about construction is the cost. Although most people are aware of environmental issues, still the percentage of people willing to try out new techniques are limited. Ashwin Architects use climatology & building orientation to a great extent to provide natural light & ventilation thus reducing dependency on mechanical means of controlling temperatures. Today, the need is to incorporate green concepts that would only increase the cost by a small percentage. Many who would like to remodel their homes may also want to consider incorporating green concepts like provisions for natural light & ventilation thus reducing dependency on mechanical means of controlling temperatures. Other techniques they can use are borewell recharging with roof water run-off, solar lights for the house, solar geysers, motion-detecting sensors for lights.
