Wednesday, January 21st, 2009

Get to know the building thoroughly before you moke any major design decisions. Ask yourself these questions:

  • which direction does it face?
  • which rooms (ace the road/overlook the garden/have other views?
  • which rooms get most light at which times of day?
  • Which rooms are the quietest?
  • Which rooms have the most wall and floor space?
  • Which rooms have the highest ceilings?
  • Do any rooms lead into one another?
  • Are there any wasted comers or unusable spaces?
  • Are there any doors that open awkwardly?
  • Are there any narrow corridors causing obstructions?
  • Are there any doorways or corners that make furniture access unnecessarily difficult?
  • Which walls are structurally supporting and which are partitions?
