A friend's question, "The living room should be relatively large because I need to have space to exercise at home."
The living room is not very small in the overall view, but if you want to take into account the multiple functions of sports and activities, it will be a little nervous, and in the case of limited width of the balcony, you need to work hard from the depth (Figure 2 shows the area).
【Idea 1】
From the drawings, the wall of the balcony part is a lightweight wall, so removing part of the wall to enclose the balcony indoors is the best choice. The balcony is divided into the interior, increasing the area available in the living room, placing the space for sports on the balcony, and the living room activity space is retained. At the same time, when the weather is bad, exercising on the balcony can also feel the changes in the outside world and create connections. (Figure 3 schematic part)
【Idea 2】
If the wall connected to the balcony and the living room cannot be moved, we can divide the space through multiple upper track folding doors, reduce the barrier between the inner and outer space, and maximize the connection between the balcony and the interior.
(Figures 5 and 6 are the three upper track folding doors in one of our previous cases, and the balcony is largely connected to the interior)
【Idea 3】
The transformation of the kitchen into an open plan and the removal of the partition wall on the right side of the kitchen (the part shown in Figure 4) also expanded the open area and increased the longitudinal permeability as in the previous idea.
