Precise alignments and thoughtful sequences guide you through a house like architectural choreography leading you along repeated paths that over time bring resonance to the space."\n\n \n\nMore About the Author: Celeste Robbins is the principal of Robbins Architecture\, a Chicago-based architectural firm specializing in residential work.
