Space Planning: Existing Site

Diagrammatic analysis via colour coding of existing State House

What I noticed about these diagrams is that each space type is reserved to separate areas of the house. For example outside / inside spaces: the inside areas connected to outside through windows and doors are generally large, open and located on the east side of the house while the inside areas are smaller and west side based. This could be because the occupants may want to make the most out of the morning sun.  

servant / served spaces
i.e. task oriented and leisure oriented spaces



public / private spaces
i.e. where visitors are encouraged or discouraged to go to.



outside / inside spaces
i.e. when have we gotten 'inside' and how connected are we to outside (such as by views/ windows)?



enclosing / opened out spaces
i.e. cosy & shady versus spacious with lots of sun



wet / dry spaces
i.e. bathrooms and kitchens versus lounges and bedrooms



static / fluid spaces
i.e. where things stay in the same place most of the time versus where they might be moved regularly



noisy / quiet spaces
