3. Standard Space Requirement To Be Followed For
Fulfilling The Client Requirement.

8. Space available for space planning:-
• Linear space available-
L x B = 6’ x 2’ = 12 sq.ft.
• Inner space (volume) available-
L x B x H = 6’ x 2’ x 6’ = 72 cu.ft.

10. To create any design I need to focus on the principles of elements of
design. For the space planning over here I mainly focused on balance
in a design with the basic elements shape which is very rightly said
“Form Follows Function”.
In the subsequent slides you will come across the space planning
created by me for my client.

11. For any adult user for a wardrobe the standard size required is 5
linear feet. Keeping into mind the requirement of my client and
space provided I created an elevation for my design.
In my design I have utilized 6 linear feet on floor.

22. As an Interior Designer this project on space planning has made me aware that a
space of 6’ x 2’x 6’ (L x B x H) has been made more functional by creating more space
from the space provided to us.
I have created 63 cu. ft. in this space.
Estimated No. Of Boards Required In The Making Of Closet :
Area Of Closet / Area Of One Board = No. Of Boards Required
199.3 / 32 = 6.22 Boards (i.e. 6 Boards)
One Extra Board
