Function

Designing a home is more than just the aesthetic. Understanding and defining the function of your space allows a home to make sense and flow effortlessly. In this lesson, 2LG teach you how to establish the function of your spaces.

Lesson Summary

  • The function is the doing thing, what are you going to do in that room?
  • Streamline your function as much as possible.
  • Try and go for one function out of each space.
  • Prioritising each space will make your home experience better.
  • Ask yourself how often you have guests, is your daily life going to struggle if you don't have guest rooms for your guests?
  • Your primary functions should be the priority within a home, a guest room could be a secondary function.
  • Consider the natural light you have in your home.
  • Do the functions flow correctly?
  • Think about how the spaces are connected.
  • Make sure the functions fit together.

The Bedroom

  • A bedroom serves a variety of purposes from a laundry room to a wardrobe and sleeping area.
  • Prioritise the relaxation function of the bedroom and remove some of the other functions from the room.

The Kitchen Table

  • Their dining area acts as a studio due to good natural light and performs a number of functions.
  • The kitchen is for entertaining friends and has to be transitional.
  • Transitional space needs loads of storage.
  • Jordan and Russell like hidden storage in transitional areas as it allows things to be folded away.

Your Assignment

Walkthrough your home asking yourself the following questions:

  • Are the spaces functioning as well as they can?
  • Does your home flow together sensibly or do changes need to be made?
  • What kind of function is best placed in the spaces you've already had to work with?
  • Do this at two different times of the day so that you can experience how the light changes in these spaces.
  • What's the journey through these spaces?
  • How do you connect these spaces?

Case Study - Perry Rise Bedroom

In the case of Perry, their wardrobe space is a separate room that allows the bedroom to remain calm. Prioritising each space will make your home experience bigger.
