Room Relationships and Sizes

Here are my questions to the chapter "Room Relationships and Sizes".

  1. Three main areas of a home are service, sleeping, and living areas.

  2. Closet area for each bedroom should be at least 4 feet long and 2 ft deep. Walk in closets should be a minimum of 6x6 feet, but 6x8 feet provides more space. 

  3. Dining room, family room and nook should be near the kitchen to allow for easy access to food. Also a kitchen should be near family room to keep families in the two different rooms close.

  4. The functions of a utility room are to do laundry, to sew, and to iron.

  5. Standard size for a two-car garage is 20x22.

  6. Five functions of family room are: to eat, to watch TV, to sort laundry, informal entertainment, playing pool.

  7. Bedrooms on the upper floor are away from living areas, and are naturally warmed up by the heat from the lower room moving up.

  8. Bedrooms on the lower floor are away from living areas, and are naturally cooler.

  9. Four design criteria to consider when planning the dining room are: easy access from the living room, easy access from the kitchen, away from the sleeping area, enough space for chairs, tables, china cabinets, and walkways.

  10. Service areas of the home are: kitchen, bathroom, utility, garage.
