Hi

I'm trying to integrate my 16' high foyer with the 12' areas around it. I
think a hard drop from 16' to 12' going into the kitchen area may look a
little harsh. The area over the stairway is open which means we have to come
up with a way to design the ceiling to get a nice flow from 16' to 12'.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Barry

Wouldn't ideas depend upon the style of the house? There are any number of
ideas, but what would fit wihtthe design? Is this abuilt house, or a
being-built one, and if it's being built, why doesn't teh designer have any
ideas...? Just wondering...

You obviously have some kind of a designer / architect, judging by the plan,
so pay them to complete the job. Don't look for free architecture.

No, but I have a question. The drawings indicate the foyer has a 14'
ceiling, so why are you asking about a 16' ceiling?

The stair winds away from the foyer so it's not necessarily opening
out to space above the foyer, there's no indication that there's
anything open above in the foyer and the plan quite clearly lists the
odd assortment of ceiling heights throughout. Why assume the foyer
ceiling dimension be the only thing that's wrong?

Let the OP answer my question. Thanks.
