Three things you wish were included more, in floor plans
Comments (16)1) In general more attention to include advice from Christopher Alexander et al's A Pattern Language where appropriate. Of those, these two patterns: 2) Habitable roof spaces, 117. Sheltering roof. The roof as an integral part of the habitable building - not placed on like a hat on top of a cubic form as with typical roof truss construction. A roof should be more than a lid. Rather it should wrap the house and appeal to our innate need for safe shelter. The edges of roofs should overlap the building. The roof should be "lived" in, i.e. part of the roof should be walls / ceiling of some rooms. 3) 159. Light on two sides of every room This pattern, perhaps more than any other single pattern, determines the success or failure of a room. The arrangement of daylight in a room, and the presence of windows on two sides, is fundamental. If you build a room with light on one side only, you can be almost certain that you are wasting your money. People will stay out of that room if they can possibly avoid it. Of course, if all the rooms are lit from one side only, people will have to use them.

Comments (30)You don't know me, but many hugs to you Debby. I cannot imagine the pain that you endure. I was going to say that I played mediator at work, smoothing co-worker's ruffled feelings. I had a great day seeing my co-workers. My dog had cancer surgery and I spent the past two weeks working from home. I really enjoy the days when I go to the office. I had a great heart to heart talk with my manager. It was a special and rare interaction and I treasured it. It sounds like my whole life is my job :-) I really love what I do for money and for that I am thankful....See MoreWhat Three Things Are You Doing This Columbus Day?
