What do designers notice in the first 10 minutes of walking through a home?
More than most people expect.
This KHD Homes podcast episode shares what stands out right away, and why those early impressions shape every design decision that follows. It is not about judgement. It is about understanding how a home is working, and where it is quietly asking for more.

Where natural light works, and where it falls short
Sightlines, what draws your eye, and what interrupts it

Why the first 10 minutes matter more than most realize These are the details that shape how a home feels day to day. Subtle, but powerful.
