Rooms.

Four pages on the room-by-room layer: how to read any room as a walk-not-verdict, the three highest-stakes rooms (bedroom, kitchen, front door), the active-use rooms (living, dining, home office), and the leakage and awkward cases.

• How to read any room.

  A reading is a walk, not a verdict. Four things to read in each room, in order, plus the three lenses that sharpen the same walk.

  The three rooms that compound hardest. Where the bed sits, where the stove sits, what the door opens onto. Layout, not facing.

• Bathrooms, storage, and problem rooms.

  The rooms most people apologise for are the rooms most worth reading carefully. Containment, deliberate storage, and four short cases for the awkward ones.
