How do good sightlines help make great homes?

First, it’s important to understand what a sightline is. It's basically what you can see in front of you — a direct view from one space to the next. And in architecture, good sightlines take advantage of usable spaces to expand your line of vision and maximize opportunities for engagement. For instance, you can be relaxing on the couch watching TV, but still have the ability to see everyone and everything going on around you. Flowing living spaces make it easy to keep an eye on your toddler playing in the great room while you’re in the kitchen — or watch older kids running around the backyard while you’re catching up on emails or cooking dinner. Big on entertaining family and friends? Mingle with guests while you're handling last-minute meal prep at the kitchen island or barbecuing on the patio.
