A distinctive house provides comfort, which is not the same thing as pleasure. Comfort describes an abiding sense of enjoyment, warmth, contentment, and for some, a spiritual sense of well-being. Pleasure suggests entertainment, stimulation, and convenience.
Many production houses provide entertaining appliances, such as Jacuzzis, or rooms aimed at specific types of pleasures-for example, watching television, playing music, or dining. To me, one of the goals of a house should be not just to provide pleasure but to achieve a higher level of all-encompassing satisfaction. Well-propotioned spaces, good light, and small but thoughtful details can help push a home beyond more pleasure.
Pleasure is about entertainment, whereas comfort is all about enjoyment and warmth, which only a well-designed space or detail can give you
