FAQ:
1. Why is the design of the study table oblique and not bang on into the window?
Answer:
a) Glare: Computer located centrally between the window will have more glare from the front and the back.
b) Continuity break: When eyes get tired, as the workstation is now turned towards right - there can be small continuity break where the person can get her/his eyes off the screen - for a few minutes instead of looking up or above the screen. Refer image.
c) More space to move: With efficiently optimized desk space, not only space for storage unit but a couple of stool is also possible in this space now.
2. Why the deck is not centrally located and shifted on the gymnasium side of the building?
Answer: Centrally located deck will cut the room into two halves with smaller spaces left on each side. Also a centrally located deck will drop columns in front of parking bay 2 hampering the parking as well. We can also expand the deck to the full length - but as the brief demanded 10 x 8 - we delivered 10 x 8.
3. Why bathroom has two access?
Answer: In general convention the access to bathroom is Room > Walk in Closet > Bathroom ---- but as the drawings of the client suggested a direct access - We thought there can be a two way possibility here as well. When the objective is directly bath - instead of changing clothes - hence the walk in closet has the conventional access - along with a vanity runway - at the same time bathroom also has its exclusive access which can be always kept locked if not in use. Both of these access have been given the barn style door as desired by the client.
4. Why is the fire place brought in the center?
Answer: Fire place is an optional feature but its central location will help the room to stay warm more efficiently in cold weather. At the same time the span of the bedroom was too large - hence we used the fireplace + library + tv unit = combined these into an island - and placed it in right at the center.
5. What kind of grass the Gym has?
Answer: Part of the gym has artificial turf grass which not only is very soothing to the eyes - but easily maintainable at the same time can be a good surface to do callisthenic exercises.
