A close look into a typical day in my life at home, from rise to fall, observing how we live and where we tend to hang out, noting which rooms are used and not used, as well as how often and for what reason. The main takeaway of this study was I spend litttle time in much of my house and where I do spend time it would be best to do away with borders based on simplified functions and instead establish a realtionship of overlapping spaces.
