A house to house a hobby
To a great extent, architectural discipline is an effective outlet for an individual’s creative instincts. If you have always explored your creative side as a hobby, then why not try architecture?
Even though architecture is my main passion in life, another passion of my life, is photography.
The hobby will of course affect the concept about space organization.
Except hobbies other factors such as views , noise, daylight, privacy will have to be considered . According to these factors the following kinds of space will be organised:
Living area, regardless of size, should be able to function as a space for relaxation and entertaining.Where people relax, entertain guests, dine, read, watch TV etc.As for the daylight it will be a room with light entering from the side.Add switched lighting in every room (near entrance)At least two windows are recommended when there are two exterior walls
The sleeping area :Where people go for privacy, to rest,sleeping , etc. Located away from the busy areas (entrance, kitchen, family room, garage. The bedroom should be a east facing room , firstly for the light and its more warm due to the solar gain.
Service area: Where people perform jobs such as cooking, laundry, working with tools, etc.
Rooms Include:Kitchen,Clothes care center,Laundry,Storage etc. This type of room should have good daylight most of the day.
As for the hobby area ,it should be a area with good quality of daylight according to the type of the hobby: photography.Window light simply refers to the light that comes through the window and into the room. There are pros to having a window in your home studio. Assuming the window is placed in an ideal location in the room, when used properly it can be a great benefit to your studio.Pros– Soft, even, light.– No need for flash.– Easy to cover up – a good set of drapes will shut out the extra light.
Low ceiling:While depth of the room is a serious limitation, don't overlook the height of the ceiling. If you have a low ceiling, you can be sure light will bounce off it. The ceiling effectively becomes a giant reflector board, adding light that you didn't even think about. You will have to work with your studio setup to learn how the light behaves and what it takes to avoid having too much light bounce off the ceiling.
