Plan Description

A main entrance to the East. A furniture with multi-functional uses which included in 3 seater, and 2x 1 seater sofa can be used a bed as well. Since Canada have cold climate, fire heater is provided to heat up the room. A shoe rack niched in a wall having a sliding door. Living room and kitchen is double height.

A multipurpose room include different activities which can be used as a formal dining spaces or study spaces using a multifunctional furniture or can be a spaces for music area which I like most as I am the music and instrument lover. Being a pet lover, I have introduced the aquarium below the staircas. Beside the staircase is a laundry area. Coming to the mezzanine floor, there are bedroom and office/study spaces.

During daytime, skylight and vertical sliding window can be used as ventilation and lighting. Since the maximum number of window in the South façade it help for passive heating.

AXONOMETRIC VIEW

Colour Used

Mostly added cool colour that are seen in the nature like green, blue, etc.with warm colour like orange and others like grey and black colour.

Multifunctional Furniture Plants And Pet

A multipurpose furniture is used to optimize space, provide versatility and functionality, reduce costs, minimize clutter, and enhance the overall aesthetics and design of a living area. By combining multiple functions into a single piece, I can make the most of my available space while enjoying the practical and aesthetic benefits of these versatile furniture options. So I have used multifunctional sofa, cabinet and table.

Being a nature lover, added some natural elements in my house, aquarium, and plants, succelents and hanging plants. I want to feel like being in the nature inside the room.
