The home's living/entertaining room. Svoboda: it 'ideally graces your home's CENTER and serves as its heart', so its central Brahma Sthāna should be kept open. [MODERN — Svoboda].
Modern
Prāṇa relevance
Centre-of-home placement makes the living room coincide with the Brahma Sthāna (zon-brahmasthana), the prāṇa-bearing centre that 'symbolizes the Sun' (directions theme); keeping it open keeps the home's central prāṇa unobstructed. Strong on-thesis link via the center.

- Svoboda places the living room at the home's CENTER as its 'heart', so its central Brahma Sthana must be kept open. The room is thus placed ON the center-zone rather than a compass direction.
