Depending on the budget, you could hack a portion of the wall "closed welcome passage" and put up a wall horizontally by the main entrance (creating a passage way to the living area. The window there should be able to shine a bit of light into the house. Replacing the wall between the living area and garage with Large glass panels would also help brighten up the house. At the same time, will give your house the elite concept (of having a vehicle in the living area) http://homememo.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/kop-properties_sky-garage.jpeg Hope this helps. :)

See Houzz Photos for "row house" or "townhouse" for ideas of how to fit living into relatively narrow spaces.

Hi I need your expert comments and advice for a porch in the front of my house under construction...I am attaching the full view photos of that....it is in Rajasthan, India...There are two pillars with a distance of 9 ft and 2 inch and both have same equal distance from other house corners...this will be a varanda....my confusion is that: 1) what type porch should be, please send few pictures, 2) how much the porch should come out of the actual distance from the pillars/beams while the length of the beams are around 12ft...(width) and 21 ft (length) but I include the length of the room as well then the length is 33ft and if I include the width of another area as kitchen then the width becomes 26 ft...Please see the photos of ongoing work...

There is no average height for the table and chairs.There're height standards for all the furniture. The standard height for the table is 30" and for the chair, it is 18". The depth of the table should be atleast 36". It might be a little broad say 42" but not more. The length if the table is defined with the seats required. The chair seat size should be 16" with the back height be 30" atleast. It might be more depending upon the design of the table.
