Space Planning: Ideas for Interior

Conceptual and bubble diagrams indicating spaces, relationships, circulation, and other important features. 

- Arranging the spaces to satisfy the programs and solve the needs of client.
- Diagram major functional and spatial relationships.
- Establish major functional and spatial relationships.
- Show relative sizes and shapes of important features.

As a focus of vertical elements, I have created a three storey home - each level has a different purpose in terms of functional and spatial relationships. The first level is the garage - a place where occupants can store their vehicles. The second is the main living space where I have disregarded the sun room and connected the kitchen with the living room. I have opened up this space with windows, thereby it becomes a sun room in itself. There is a lot of circulation through this area as this is a communal space where occupants and guests will spend most of their time. I have created an outdoor zone out from this living space to open it up - indoor/outdoor flow, for this reason, becomes a main feature in this home. The top level is designed for the bedrooms space, a private area, hence why they are located upstairs, away from guests. These rooms obviously don't get as much circulation through them, nevertheless, the hallways and staircases leading up to them, is fluid.

In these diagrams, I have colour coded the spaces according to:
- Blue: circulation and flow through the space (light blue is a place of less circulation, dark blue has more circulation and is a fluid space e.g. transitional spaces).
-Purple: functional and spatial relationships (I have connected rooms together, and separated rooms by adding levels in the home).
