The Entry Sequence: Why the Walk From Carport to Atrium Is Part of the Architecture

An Eichler begins before the front door. This comprehensive Property Nerd field guide analyzes the walk from street and carport through the gate, atrium and interior reveal, then introduces a 35-point Entry Sequence Score for legibility, compression, privacy, nighttime clarity, material continuity and daily function.
