A well-designed open interior can make a small space feel larger or add grandeur to a large space. By adding floor-to-ceiling windows and a catwalk to the design, natural light will easily flow throughout the home. In addition, catwalks create a place to pause and take in the panoramic landscape window views. Whether you are building a new home or renovating an existing one, a catwalk could be just the architectural detail to make your space feel lighter and add a wow factor to your home.
