Beschreibung

A practical approach to planning residential spaces Residential Interior Design: A Guide To Planning Spaces is the industry-standard reference for all aspects of residential space planning, with a practical focus on accessible design, ergonomics, and how building systems affect each space. This new third edition has been updated with the most recent code information, including the 2015 International Residential Code and the International Green Construction Code, and new content on remodeling. Packed with hundreds of drawings and photographs, this book illustrates a step-by-step approach to design that applies to any residential space, and ensures that the most important factors are weighted heavily in the decision making process. Daily use is a major consideration, and the authors explore the minimum amount of space each room requires to function appropriately while examining the host of additional factors that impact bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, hallways, and more. Detailed information about accessibility is included in each chapter, making this book a reliable design reference for "aging in place" and universal design. The new companion website features teaching tools and a variety of learning supplements that help reinforce the material covered. Interior design is a fundamental component of a residential space, and a required skill for architecture and design professionals. This book is a complete reference on all aspects of residential design, and the factors that make a space "work." * Design spaces with primary consideration of daily use * Account for building systems, accessibility, human factors, and more * Get up to date on the latest residential interior building codes * Plan interiors for any home, any style, and any budget Designing a residential interior is about more than choosing paint colors and furniture--it's about people, and how they interact and use the space. It's about shaping the space to conform to its function in the best possible way. Residential Interior Design provides clear, comprehensive guidance on getting it right every time.

List of Illustrations

Chapter 1

Figure 1.1 This book covers the design of houses using a basic room-by-room approach.

Figure 1.2 The average new home in the United States has grown in size over time—despite the fact that family size has grown smaller. However, larger is not necessarily better, and well-planned spaces need not be excessively large. Given land and construction costs, as well as environmental concerns, smaller houses may be a necessity in the future. Numbers for square footage shown do not include garage spaces.

Figure 1.3a An illustration of territories as identified by theoreticians. Cooper identifies a public exterior and an intimate interior. Newman identifies public territories, which are not possessed or claimed; semipublic territories such as sidewalks, which are not owned but are seen as being possessed nonetheless; semiprivate territories, which are shared by owners or seen as being under surveillance by neighbors, such as front yards or shared swimming pools; and private territories, such as the private interior of a house or a fenced-in backyard.

Figure 1.3b An illustration of territories related to interior space. Oscar Newman described the need for some type of buffer between the public world and private interior territories. Sebba and Churchman describe areas within a home that are used by all as “shared territory,” with limited privacy; “individual primary territories” are those seen as belonging to individuals, such as a bedroom, which becomes the private sanctuary of the individual. Alexander et al. describe an intimacy gradient, with the most public spaces related to the entrance leading to a sequence of increasingly private spaces.

Figure 1.4a Sommer’s personal space, which “refers to an area with an invisible boundary surrounding the person’s body into which intruders may not come.”

Figure 1.4b Hall’s personal boundaries or body distances. Hall identified four distinct body distances or boundaries that people will maintain in varying social situations:

Figure 1.5 IRC required floor area in sloped ceiling situations: The IRC calls for habitable rooms to have a ceiling height of “not less than 7 feet (2134 mm).” It also states that no more than 50 percent of the required floor area of spaces may have sloped ceilings less than 7 feet (2134 mm) in height and requires that no portion of the required floor area be less than 5 feet (1524 mm) in height.

Figure 1.6 Switching and outlet locations for standing adult and seated (wheelchair) users

Figure 1.7 Types of lighting include the following: Ambient light is general illumination that provides a uniform light level. Task lighting aids in performing work such as reading or preparing food. Accent lighting functions to illuminate objects or special features. Decorative lighting tends to draw attention to itself in the form of a decorative element such as a chandelier or wall sconce (decorative elements can add to a room’s ambient lighting).

Figure 1.8

Luminaire

is a term used to describe a complete lighting unit. Luminaires may be portable, pendant mounted (also known as suspended), surface mounted on walls or ceilings (decorative luminaires mounted on walls are often called sconces), or track mounted (the track can be mounted on the ceiling or suspended and can include track heads or pendants). Other options include recessed and semirecessed fixtures as well as other architectural lighting options (lighting permanently affixed to the architecture of the building), such as cove and valance lighting. More information on recessed luminaires can be found in Figure 1.9.

Figure 1.9 Recessed luminaires include recessed downlights (used for ambient lighting) and recessed adjustable downlights (also used for ambient lighting). Recessed wall washers direct light down at an angle and can be used for accent lighting. Recessed troffers are square or rectangular luminaires that house fluorescent lamps. These are available with diffusers or with louvers. Those with diffusers are used to provide ambient light, whereas louvers can direct light for tasks such as computer work. Surface-mounted versions with diffusers are used more commonly in residential settings.

Figure 1.10 Lamps are divided into broad categories: incandescent, fluorescent, light-emitting diode (LED

)

,

and high-intensity discharge (not shown). Incandescent lamps come in a range of shapes and sizes, with a letter designation referring to shape (as shown) and a number indicating the maximum diameter of the lamp (in eighths of an inch). Halogen (and xenon) lamps are another type of incandescent lamp. PAR, R, and ER lamps are incandescent reflector lamps that create directional beams. A range of fluorescent lamp shapes and types are available, including straight tubular (or linear), U-shaped, twin-tube, and circular (properly called circline) lamps. In addition, there are compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), which may have a single, double, or U-shaped tube as well as spiral types with an adapter or with an integral adapter for use in an incandescent lampholder. These have become much more common in residential use in recent years because of their energy efficiency and lamp life. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs), also known as solid-state lighting, are rapidly evolving for residential use (See “Phasing Out Standard Incandescent Lamps”). Note that LEDs are available in a range of lamp shapes and base types that are intended to look similar to incandescent and fluorescent lamps. They can mimic other types of lighting and are also used in strip and rope lighting.
