Draw three layers on the measured plan: fixed points, activities and movement. Move the activities around before moving any walls.

Plan in this order
- Start with columns, windows, door swings and service points on a single measured drawing.
- Place the highest-frequency activity first. Put the equipment or storage it uses within the same zone.
- Trace the longest everyday trip and any crossing routes. Show both with furniture and doors in use.
Worked example
Wardrobe doors collide with a bedside table in a narrow bedroom, even though the bed fits on paper.
Draw open doors and drawers over the bed footprint, then shift the bed or use sliding fronts only after checking access.
How to test it
Ask someone unfamiliar with the plan to walk through a normal visit and point out where they would hesitate.
Apply it to this space
- Layout
- Keep bed and desk out of the entry path, with wardrobe access clear and a direct route to the door.
- Detail
- Use layered task and ambient lights with opaque window covering and lockable storage where appropriate.
- Trade-off
- A larger desk supports work but can consume the room’s open floor area.
- Check privacy from corridor and shared areas
- Measure personal storage and desk use
