1ST VISIT
5 September, Wednesday
During our first visit, we are guided by our lecturer, Ms Ann and had a brief understanding of our delegated family’s background by conducting a short interview. Mrs Rogambal had stated that her children’s study area is her only and main priority.
2nd VISIT 19 September, Wednesday
We did an in depth interview with the family to understand their actual needs and requested for the approval of our initial ideas. We then proceed to take the dimensions of the study area and the bedroom shared between Kumaran and Vishva.
OBJECTIVE
ISSUES
To provide a dedicated and ideal study area to children who falls in different age group
Indefinite study area with minimal and unsuitable furniture
Reorganization of spaces to allow optimal use of space
Lack of study table which is space friendly and children friendly
To promote and instill the idea of minimalism to the family ; where more space can be created by discarding the old junk and stuffs
Insufficient light sources hence dim environment Lack of efficient storage system for school supplies and uniforms
Study Area
CURRENT STUDY AREA ● ● ● ● ●
Located at the main space where most family activities are held Noisy due to activities held in main space and its location beside a television Minimal space for studying Restricts movement due to narrow space Quality of space is unsuitable for study area
ISSUE (LIVING ROOM)
Dim surrounding lowers productivity and will cause eye strains especially for the children.
Multiple source of distraction from ongoing activities because it is located at the main activity hall with the highest human traffic in the flat.
School supplies and uniforms are scattered around as there is not enough storage to store the children’s belongings.
USER REQUEST ON LIVING CONDITION
Current situation : Location: Living room as study space ● Noise distraction from the living area ● Poor lighting
Amendment : Location - Study space in the bedroom ● Quieter and more conducive environment ● Less surrounding distraction ● Studying facilities (cabinet, chairs, table etc)
FINAL PROPOSAL
LIVING ROOM
BEDROOM
According to the owner, she wanted to have the study area at the living room because she felt that it is optimal place for study as it is spacious compare to other areas.
After further consideration and convincing the family, we decided to shift the study area to the bedroom due to : ● ● ●
Insufficient lighting Unwanted noise Privacy
CURRENT BEDROOM FLOOR PLAN
2. Unused space due to the position of the bed
1. Wasted space due to the inefficient storage
4. Constraint area for movement
3. Inefficient space management
ISSUE (BEDROOM) Disorganization of clothing and study materials leads to accumulation of things making the room an unusable space
Placement of clothesline directly beside the window blocks out natural light
Unplanned storage of laundry detergent causes insufficient room space for studying purposes
ISSUE (BEDROOM) Insufficient storage available in the room which results in messy environment and not an ideal environment to grow up
Inadequate sleeping space for two users results in lack of comfort
HIGH HUMIDITY Dampness in air caused by condensation of water vapour from drying wet clothes indoors
ONLY WINDOW
CONSTRAINT SPACE Accumulation plus disorganized household objects limits the walkable area INEFFECTIVE STORAGE
INEFFECTIVE STORAGE
LIMITED ROOM FOR SLEEPING Single bed for two children
PROPOSED FLOOR PLAN Organization of storage: ● Neater environment ● Convenient and easy to reach Functionalize space area in terms of volume: ● Allows user to maximize space for multiple usage Clearance and management of space: ● Ease of movement ● Maximizing space clearance for future storage
Maximization of closet space Utilization of vertical space ● Study area ● Storage ● Sleeping area
Clearance of space ● Ease of movement ● More spacious ● User comfort
Maximization of space ● Slidable bed
Optimization of space through the usage of bunked bed as overlapping of the three functional spaces has greatly reduce the space wastage,enabling more space for movement.
Provide user a clean and organised closet. Assure that the storage area is dust free space.
Installation of led lighting to brighten the room as the current dim environment is not suitable for the children to study.
