Spaces for Living 03 Centre for Excellence in Universal Design Spaces for Living 03 UD Home Guidance Houses X UD Home Plus Guidance Apartments Living areas should be large enough for furniture to be arranged in different ways, and with enough clear, unobstructed space for movement and activities. Thoughtful design decisions can ensure that spaces are easier for everyone to use, and provide flexibility for future adaptations.

Photo Design Tip R Window transoms could be lowered to avoid blocking sight level when seated and the window handle should be lowered. R Deep pile carpet is not easy for everyone to walk on. 98 Spaces for Living: Section 03 Living Room Design Considerations and Awareness The living room is ideally located at entrance level. An open plan arrangement often works very well, but many larger families prefer to have two separate living space so that different activities can happen at the same time. The living room should allow ease of movement for everyone, whether they are sitting down, accessing shelves, switching on the TV, or opening windows and doors. It is important that a household can welcome and entertain all visitors easily, so a living space should be provided at the same level as the front entrance door. However, a living space does not necessarily have to be a living room; it can, for example, be a large kitchen-dining room with space to eat and socialise. This living space should be large enough to accommodate a temporary sleeping area if there is no bedroom at entrance level of the home. There should be enough space for a full-size bed and chest of drawers or small cupboard. The living space should still be capable of functioning normally even with the bed space in use. Where possible an additional room at ground floor should be provided for various uses such as ground floor bedroom or study. Please refer to section 3.5 for bedrooms and guidance. UD Home • and UD Home X Guidance • Ensure there is a living space at the same level as the entrance to the home. • The recommended minimum unobstructed living room widths are 3.3 metres for one bedroom, 3.6 metres for two bedroom and 3.8 metres for three bedroom dwellings. • Identify a location for a bed space at entrance level. • Provide a clear space for 1500– 1800mm turning circle or 1700 × 1400mm ellipse. X Provide a clear space for an 1800 – 2400mm turning circle. • Provide 750mm wide clear route between items and in front of windows and routes between doors. X Provide 800mm wide clear route between items and in front of windows and routes between doors. 99 Universal Design Guidelines For Homes in Ireland Indicative Room Plan: Living Room. 3 3 0 0 m m 750mm 7 5 0 m m 1500 – 1800mm 3300 mm 750mm 7 5 0 m m 3600mm UD Home Consider providing: 1500 – 1800mm • a 900–1200mmXX wide clear route between items, in front of windows, and on routes betwe Guidance 3300mm • a clear space for a 2400mm minimum turning circle in all habitable rooms. en doors. 100 Spaces for Living: Section 03 3.2 Dining Rooms 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 An open-plan kitchen and dining area. 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 Photo Design Features P Generous space provided all around the dining table. P No obstructions from supports beneath table. P Directly adjacent to kitchen beyond. Photo Design Tip R Colour contrast between the floor and walls could be stronger and the loose rug may be a trip hazard. R Open-plan arrangements can work well for people with hearing difficulties as they allow clear visual communication. R Very reflective surfaces can be disorienting for some people with cognitive and visual difficulties. 101 Universal Design Guidelines For Homes in Ireland Design Considerations and Awareness Eating, sharing meals and providing hospitality is an important aspect of daily life in every home. In the UD Home, the dining area should be arranged so that the household and their guests can lay the table easily, have enough room to pass behind chairs, and sit down with enough room for everyone. The dining area may be in a room of its own, or part of the living room or kitchen. Most larger families benefit from having a separate living space and kitchen / dining space, because this provides two activity spaces. Everyone will benefit from having a dining area in or near the kitchen to avoid the difficulty of negotiating doors with trays of food and drinks. If the dining table is in the living room, it is helpful to have a small table in the kitchen for occasional meals or snacks. Breakfast bars may be used as long as there is an alternative place for occasional meals in the kitchen, such as a small table. A breakfast bar is not accessible to someone in a wheelchair or of smaller stature. UD Home • and UD Home X Guidance • Provide 1200mm clear space on at least two consecutive sides of a table. X Provide 1200mm clear space on all sides of a table. • If the dining table is in the living room, provide a table for occasional eating in the kitchen. • Locate the dining area within or immediately adjacent to the kitchen. 102 Spaces for Living: Section 03 3.3 Kitchens 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 01 02A 03 'L' shaped 04 05 plan 06 kitchen 07 and 08 dining 09 10area. 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 Photo Design Features P Large clear turning space in the kitchen area.

  • FLIGHTS of FANCY – Some Fancy Stairs and Some Practicalities
    FLIGHTS OF FANCY – Some fancy stairs and some practicalities Geometrical stairs A geometrical stair does not have newel posts, and the handrail for a flight and landing is continuous. The flight may be curved or straight. These stairs are the apogee of the craft of joinery as applied to house-building, and they are invariably bespoke. (The name presumably comes from the deep understanding of three dimensional geometry required to make such a stair.) If you are rich and you want to impress your guests, consider fitting geometrical stairs. Geometrical stair – continuous handrail without newels (Photo from the Houzz website.) Traditional cantilevered stairs Cantilevered stairs are generally to be found in grand buildings built prior to the twentieth century. They are a marvel to behold – but they are mis-named. Dean's staircase, St Paul's cathedral FLIGHTS OF FANCY 1 MARCH 2016. The steps are usually stone, with the front edge of a step resting on the back edge of the one below it. On one side, the steps are embedded in a wall, but on the other side they are free. This side of the stair seems to have no support. It appears as though the steps have been cantilevered out from the wall, but that is not the case – the steps are only embedded 10-20 cm into the wall. The vital mechanical function of the wall is to prevent a step from rotating under the weight of the steps above it. As a result, the load of the heavy steps is transmitted down through the steps themselves to the floor at the bottom.

  • AREA PLANNING Living Area
    AREA PLANNING Living Area The living area is the part of the house that most friends and guests see. This is the area that usually becomes the showplace. This area is roughly 1/3 of the house and serves a variety of functions. It is the location for family get-togethers, dining, recreation, entertaining, and just relaxing. The living area is composed of a number of rooms. They include the living room, dining room, foyer, recreation or family room and special-purpose rooms such as a sunroom or home office. Living Rooms • For many families, the living room is the center for most activities. It may serve as a playroom, TV room, or conversation place. Considerations 1. Ask yourself these questions: a. What furniture is planned for this particular room? b. How often will the room be used? c. How many people are expected to use the room at any one time? d. How many functions are combined in this one room? (Is it a multipurpose room?) e. Is the living room size in proportion with the remainder of the house? 2. The size of living rooms a. Small size, minimum of 150sq.ft. b. Average size, 250sq.ft. c. Large size, 400sq.ft. and over 3. Location should not be such that a natural traffic pattern will be established through it to other parts of the house 4. Should be placed on the ground floor 5. The use of large windows is common because it creates a feeling of spaciousness 6. The design / style, should follow the exterior design / style Dining Room • Most modern homes today have a dining room.

There are precedencies where the disease has been a co-drive to architecture and urban transformations. Many are questioning if the pandemic of Covid-19, will make us reflect on the legacy we are leaving and change it? This is a question that requires complex analysis. A first steps will be to understand what home feels like during this period. This paper tries to understand the exploitation of domestic space during the quarantine through the examination of spatial design. The majority of constructions today in Albania is the collective housing. It is the object of this research, which aims to reflect on the domestic space, making an assessment on how two typologies, the close and the open floor plan reacted in such specific conditions. The methodology that is used to trace public perception is the survey, then the analysis deep into a graphic comparison between the plan of two typologies. Key Words: Collective housing, Domestic Design, Pandemic 1 INTRODUCTION architecture and urban transformations.

  • Are We Over Open-Concept Houses?
    TOP STORIES Inside Canada’s next boom town: Kitimat, B.C. transforms in preparation for a pipeline 1 DAY AGO UPDATED Are we over open-concept houses? MATTHEW HAGUE SPECIAL TO THE GLOBE AND MAIL PUBLISHED 11 HOURS AGO FOR SUBSCRIBERS 1 COMMENTS SHARE Vanessa Fong's Toronto home has clearly divided rooms, but she mantains an open-space feeling on the main floor by not having doors so that nothing feels closed off. CINDY BLAZEVIC/HANDOUT Modern design tends to be polarizing. Not everyone loves the boxy aesthetic that swaps out ornamentation for spare lines. One tenet of modernism, however, seems to be wildly popular: the open-concept plan. It’s almost impossible to watch a HGTV reno show, open a shelter magazine or scroll through Pinterest and Instagram without seeing designers and homeowners praising the benefits of wall-free living. Everyone seems to love the airiness, the light filled-ness and the ability to simultaneously cook a meal in the kitchen and chat with house guests in the living room.
