Flexibility- Families changeThese notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.- Functions change- Mobility (resale)B. Zones- Work Zone: Area of the home where work of the home is carried out Kitchen, laundry room, garage, home office May not exist in some cultures Work zone may be outside of home- Private Zone: Rooms that are exclusively used by the household membersfor private activities Culture specific- Public Zone: Areas of the home where non-family members are allowed Living room, dining room, porch- 3 rules for a good floor plan Presence of all 3 Grouping Circulation without crossing the middle of the 3rd zone - Zoning Considerations: If the house has a home office and clients visit, what zone does the office belong in? Public and work zone. If you were designing a home with a home office, where would you put it? Closer to front of houseC. Circulation- Circulation paths: short and direct- Traffic patterns that cut across rooms are not good- Zoning and circulation go together in home design- Open space planning- Rational (i.e. efficient)- Halls Exclusively circulation Not functional in itselfD. Kitchen Design- Work triangle (sink, stove, refrigerator)- Indicator of efficiency for a single worker Too big is inefficient Too small may have insufficient counter space and storage- Recent design trends to accommodating more than one cook- Corridor or two-wall1. L-Shapedo One of most flexible and most popular, providing a compact triangleo Very flexible layout designo Major appliances can be placed in variety of areaso Work areas are close to each othero Can easily convert to U-shape with cabinet leg additionL-shape with island (compare to broken U-shape):2. U-Shapedo Popular in large and small homes alikeo Perfect for families who use their kitchens a great dealo Provides plenty of counter spaceo Efficient work triangleo Can convert one cabinet leg into breakfast bar3. Galley (Corridor)o Makes the most out of a smaller kitcheno Great for small kitchenso Appliances close to each othero Easy for one cook to maneuver o Can easily convert to U-shape by closing off one side4. Single-Wallo Designed for houses or apartments, offers very open and airy feelo Ideal for apartments and smaller homeso Works well with open designs found in many contemporary homeso Small moveable table can provide eating spaceo Can be enhanced with addition of islandE. Closets- Are buffers- Very old homes have few closets Fewer clothes Armoire, moveable wardrobe- Walk-in closet Luxury feel, popular Poor functionalityF. Plumbing- Key is concentration- Dispersion Costs to install Costs to maintain Energy costs (distance from water heater to outlet)G. Energy Efficiency - Air lock vestibule- South side for most used rooms: Winter sun low in southern horizon - Orientation South-facing windows: Sun is low on southern horizon in winters East-facing windows: Overheating house immediately (early a.m.) Cross ventilation windows: Convenient during certain temperatures - Landscaping North and West sides coniferous trees: Buffer to winter winds South side deciduous trees: Summer shade, winter sun- Importance of energy efficiency in
