Back Half of Main Room
 
Description: Although this doesn't show much of the main room, it has an arched ceiling and two rooms that branch off of it. The door on the left leads to the lower Moroccan den/dining room. The door on the right leads up to another room.
 
 
Vision: My idea here would be to remove the wall above the Moroccan room doorway and in its place, put a railing. This would open up the main room, adding a second tier. As this area is fairly big in size, it would likely become the main living space in the house. By adding the kitchen here (see diagram), it would definitely serve as the hub!
 
     
   
 

These are some classic books about living life to the fullest in Southern France and Northern Italy. These books also celebrate the process of renovating older buildings in this area.
