Layout - Preliminary Ideas

A draft print-out from Achan's self-learnt AutoCAD. This was used for the discussion with GS on 19 May 2007.

Using his pencil, GS had put forth some preliminary suggestions -
  • Sit-out: Turning the room nearest to the gate (blue) into an open sit-out; Removing the wodden lattice
  • Widening of front rooms: Creating a large common space by removing some room partitions (blue, red), using an "H" shaped beam for supporting the roof-beams;
  • Kitchen: Removing the disfunctional "bath-room" next to the kitchen; modifying the space to link it to a contiguous dining area;
  • Creating space for a new bedroom and a bathroom
  • Turning the nelavera (green) into a study or a library
