Here is radial balance on a grand scale. Radial balance ~ a state of balance based on a circle.
When I lead group therapy, the design of the chairs was based on radial balance....
For the record, I am not in the picture. This is a stock photo to illustrate the point. Radial balance allows people to speak directly to each other with ease.....
Many dining rooms are based on radial balance......
Whether they are large or small dining rooms, there is no question that radial balance provides all with a fabulous seat at the table. Conversation flows easily.
Radial balance allows us to see a show, concert, or sporting event from all sides....
Here are some conversation areas that appear to be based on radial balance.
Some of these have other forms of balance but it appears the art of conversation was at the fore when these rooms were designs.
That is what makes radial balance so wonderful and intimate ~ the art of conversation or enjoying the fantastic sight.
For more designs ~ visit
Andrew Skurman's website. He is an architect that has mastered the art of radial balance.... his work is breathtaking.
Here is my recommended reading again for additional information ~
I was perusing Architectural Digest.com as many of you do I'm sure when I came across the picture above. 'That looks like Andy Skurman's work,' I thought. I read the credits and sure enough, I was right! I love his round and curved rooms.
He worked with decorator Suzanne Tucker to accomplish the lovely work you'll see in the full article. I interviewed Andy a while back. He's very clear about his work, his niche, and I must say he does it well. I love his round dining rooms the most. Round dining tables I find to be so intimate and primed for conversation. That's why I also enjoy radial balance in rooms. Of course, that could just be the group therapist in me coming out!
