Revised Apartment Floor Plan

We decided that floor plan design 1 was probably the best option at this stage and we decided to develop it further. We adjusted the dimensions and positioning of the bedrooms and added a small study area in front of bedroom 2. The curved wall creates an interesting focal point when entering the residence and also contrasts the modular layout and look of the apartment. The use of plywood (see previous post) could possibly be used in this instance. Along the southern wall 2 large windows will provide natural ambient lighting for the residence. Also, along the southern wall three bookcases will run the entire length of the wall and protrude approx 500mm. The ends can be used for book storage/shelving while the front of the bookcases can be used to store an entertainment unit or additional storage. I also like the idea of a fold-up dining room table. Having all this storage means that when something is not being used it can stored away, opening up the area and creating the illusion of more space when entering the residence.
