  1. TACTICAL DIAGRAMMINGRooms

  2. Rectangle Rule • Virtually all rooms are rectangular • Determining any two adjacent walls is nearly conclusive for the remaining walls

  3. Rooms are functional • Food preparation, sleeping, eating, recreation, entertainment, washing, grooming, cleaning clothes, etc. • How a room is used will dictate how it is built, what is in it and what is next to it • Bathrooms and closets between bedrooms for sound insulation • Linen closets near bathrooms and bedrooms • Typically, kitchens follow only four floor plans and bathrooms follow only three

  4. Kitchens • Sizes range from 50 sq. ft. to 150 sq. ft. (typical ~120 sq. ft.) • Built to maximize use of three major appliances • Refrigerator, stove, sink • Work triangle is 12 to 22 feet • One of the easiest rooms to diagram • Sinks nearly always under a window with a high sill • Stove requires exhaust vent

  5. Kitchen Floor Plans Linear L-Shape U-Shape Galley

  6. Bathrooms • Smallest occupied room in a house • Typically range from ~35 square feet to ~55 square feet • Built to maximize use of three major appliances • Toilet, Sink, Shower/Tub • Requires vent or openable window for shower (width is ≤ twice the height) • Modern houses often have bathroom and/or dressing room inside master bedroom configuration • One of the easiest rooms to diagram

  7. Bathroom Floor Plans In-Line Corridor L-Shape

  8. Bedrooms • Come in two styles, master and everything else • Used to generally define size of living accommodations (2 bedrooms, 3 bedrooms, etc.) • >70 sq. ft. by code, ≤110 sq. ft. by custom • Bedrooms clustered with each other • Tend to be located at one end of the house • Two-story house will virtually always have all bedrooms on second floor • Bedroom doors open into a common hallway (fire escape and privacy) • Have medium-sized windows with high sills • Windows required for fire escape • Shades and curtains • Adjacent to bathroom windows

  9. Living and Family Rooms • Most “public” rooms in a house • Modern floor plans sometimes combine the living and family rooms into a single “great room” • Usually the largest room in a house (≤200 sq. ft.) • Largest windows in the building • Provides the best view into a house at dusk • Contemporary houses have them in the back but older houses tend to have them in the front (hence the term “front room”) • Close proximity to front door • Tend to be adjacent to kitchen • Almost never upstairs in two-story houses
