Design Process - Blog 7 (Site Study)

We happened to come across this small living space in a bedroom. As you can see from the image below...

Figure 7.0 A small living space of a room

The space in this room is quite cramped and there is only a small area for walking and putting stuffs. There will be not much space left if more furniture are to be added in the room. My group suggest to replace the loft bed with a bed that has hidden compartments for storage of clothing since only one person is using the room. Furthermore, a table that has multi-compartments to store the stuffs and make the table less messy. 

Relating to our design problem, we plan to sort out different design methods in making use of small spaces. For example, arranging furniture and storage against the walls or changing hinged doors to sliding or swing doors to save as much space as possible. Also, having mirrored furniture can create double illusion of the space. All these changes definitely make the space more spacious and look less dense.
