If you make a standard 8 foot hex with 6 foot walls you can make a really nice entrance hallway. You lose a little space but you gain so much more. The door comes from any side and is about 4 feet or half the walls side. You run the hall down the entire wall on the inside and you can either leave it open or put a second door on the end of the hallway.
