Miscellaneous BL and IL questions

Postby efhogan » Sun Sep 15, 2013 4:14 pm

Building Layout:
1. When visual control of the entry of a room is required, is an interior window necessary, or can the doors of the two rooms simply be near each other?

2. Does the location of doors into a stairwell need to be fairly consistent from one floor to another? That is, if on floor 1 the doors into the stairwell are at the north end, do the doors into the stairwell at floor 2 likewise need to be on the north end? Could they be at the south end on floor 2?

3. Do you recommend only placing the minimum number of windows required?

4. Does the window width matter?

Interior Layout:
1. Is it ok for a coffee table to be placed in the corner, with chairs immediately next to both exposed sides?

Thanks, Coach!

Absolutely.

Doors do not provide visual control.

2. Does the location of doors into a stairwell need to be fairly consistent from one floor to another?

No.

3. Do you recommend only placing the minimum number of windows required?
4. Does the window width matter?

Use 4' to 10' segments on one wall (unless more is required by program) in proportion to room size.
