  1. Three Main Areas of a House Interior Planning

  2. Objectives • Differentiate between the three main areas of a house • Connect prior use of tools to tool use in architectural drawing • Design 3 main areas of a house • Analyze various kitchen types • Critique basic floor plans • Apply concepts of scale to everyday life • Create part of a floor plan using architectural tools

  3. Floor Plans • It’s a scaled drawing of a horizontal section through a building at a given level (usually 5’-0”) • a diagram of the relationships between rooms, spaces and other physical features at one level of a structure • Shows: location and dimensions of exterior and interior walls, windows, doors, major appliances, cabinets, fireplaces

  4. Floor Plans Information in a floor plan includes: • Exterior and interior walls • Size and location of windows and doors • Built in cabinets and appliances • Permanent fixtures • Stairs and fireplaces – direction, number of risers and width of stairs • Patios and decks • Room names • Material symbols • Scale, usually drawn ¼” = 1’

  5. Floor Plans Open vs. Closed Plans: • Open Concept • Rooms on the main level are not divided by walls. The line of sight leads from the front to the back of the house • Good for families with kids, who want to see them at all times, when cooking, etc. • This is currently a popular method of building • Especially popular for smaller spaces

  6. Floor Plans Open vs. Closed Plans: • Closed Concept • Rooms on the main level are mostly divided by walls into separate spaces. • This is a more traditional method of building • It allows for more privacy • Better layout for larger homes than smaller homes

  7. Traffic Circulation • It’s the movement of people from one area or room to another • You should plan for maximum efficiency of movement • Pathways should be short and not pass through other rooms too much
