Transitions
Solution
When consider flow and movement from one space to another, give particular attention to the place where one transitions from being in one space to being in the next.

Offer a moment's pause at each transition, by providing something interesting. For the most important transitions from one space to another, mark the transition with something particularly signficant.
Supporting Patterns
When designing stairways, make moving from one level to another to be a real event.

As with other movements through space, providing a turn in a stairway can hint at an intriguing adventure that awaits.
