The threshold itself can be defined literally as a physical element between two spaces as well as a moment in architecture where one idea, principle, or feeling ends and another begins. It is the latter of the two that stimulates the concept of a place where one can rest in preparation and anticipation of the next. At the point of threshold is where it is desired to freeze the moment and “elongate” the experience, ultimately creating an exaggerated space. By physically implying this pause, a destination and relief from the world’s pressures becomes an experience.
