01 / The brief

What this study explores.

The fictional brief keeps the room arrangement and studies how finishes, lighting priorities and storage could bring consistency to a whole floor. The focus is on the points where rooms meet, rather than a complete rebuild.

Constraints, stated early

  • Keep existing room divisions as conceptual fixed points.
  • Building rules, access arrangements and neighbouring properties have not been assessed.
  • A coordinated palette should still allow different wear and moisture requirements.
02 / Drawing study

A plan to discuss.

Authored conceptual diagram. Not surveyed, not to scale and not for construction. No structural suitability is implied.

Concept plan with labelled zones: Living / dining, Kitchen, Bedroom, Hall / bath. Existing structure and all dimensions are unverified.
03 / Materials & decisions

From the room
to the junction.

01A single dry-area floor tone forms the reference. Wet areas use a complementary finish with a deliberate boundary.

02Storage is considered room by room, then checked together so doors and handles share a coherent rhythm.

03The sequence of preparation is discussed before finishes. No programme or completion date is implied.
