We are going to build a new house in the country. The architect has been hired and we now are in the process of organizing all of our thoughts regarding various design aspects.
One part of the design I am spending a lot of time with is general dirt control. We are city folks and could notice right away that country living presents a real challenge regarding intrusion of OUTSIDE into INSIDE. So right from the beginning I could see that a lot of thinking and planning needed to be done for dirt control.
So far I know that a mud room is indispensable. And I can also see that it's important to generally put a 'clean barrier' around the living structures - things like wide gravel walkways and maintained lawns.
What are some of the other ideas and techniques you have used to build an effective transition from plowed field into clean kitchen?
Thanks,
Martin
