Room Dimensions – 200 square feet
I love tight spaces and long corridors. I have styled my own personal room in my home so it follows a more close and narrow appearance. I want the walls to be close and cozy, but distant enough to have two people walk by each other comfortably, including furniture. I like the idea that this studio was just an unused hallway that I repurposed. I plan to have a very high ceiling. I want to create a subtle hierarchy with they length of the room. The beginning being open and inviting, but as you delve deeper into the room, more and more personal items, work spaces, and less areas to sit exist.
- 10 by 20
- Definitely enough room in width to pass by anyone, even with furniture in the way.
- Only doubly wide as long, loses hierarchical importance and narrow pathway feel.
- More of a rectangular room than a corridor.
- 8 by 25
- Potential problem with space and people passing each other, must be careful placing things.
- Longer room, but still relatively room shaped. Inoffensive.
- 6 by 33 1/3
- The most potential problem with space. Heavy attention to location of furniture and ability to move about is necessary.
- Unique opportunities with the space.
- Could create faux doors/doorways by placing furniture and pinching circulation to force people through certain areas one at a time or establish an emphasis between spaces.
- With a high ceiling, claustrophobia is extremely reduced and the awe of the space invites a wandering eye.
- Office/work space defined by the very end of the room that you must walk all the way down to.
- More corridor than room, cozy and repurposed feel I’m going for.
A. “A wall or structural detail.”
- coffers
- subtractive, adds more space in an already cramped area
- potential shelves or storage areas
- columns/pilasters
- additive, takes away space available
- creates hierarchy and emphasis
- ability to subtly separate areas of studio
- half/quarter walls
- subtractive, allows for unique areas
- benches and social sitting areas for quarter walls
- shelves and high storage for areas with half walls
- can separate areas of the studio, much like columns or pillars
- subtractive, allows for unique areas
B. “An area for sitting.”
- half/quarter walls
- can be an elongated bench
- social area
- specified chairs or sofa
- lessens space for walkway
- social space, although cramped
C. “An object for a workspace.”
- design desk (with lots of ascending shelves)
- some nice chair lol
