In week 5, due to the need for larger interior spaces, the overall design was being expanded from 30 square meters to 45 square meters. Five square meters were added to the bedroom area, providing a wider path between the bed and the piano set. This approach also increased the space for couches and the study desk, making these furniture more adjustable.

The other 10 square meters were added to the bathroom, the changing room and the hallway. As there are more spaces, the overall furniture placement in the changing room and the bathroom leaves enough space so that the user can access all furniture without feeling restricted. The longer hallway enhances the stage-like space feature, giving the user more sense of contrast when passing through the hallway.

However, due to the extension of the hallway, i noticed that it is not convenient for the user to access the changing area when entering the room. As taking off the outerwear is usually the first thing people do when entering a interior space, the wardrobe should be placed near the entrance. Hence, i decided to solve this problem by creating a wardrobe that opens on both sides. I started by removing parts of the the right hallway wall, making the back of the wardrobe exposed. Then, a second cabinet door is added to the exposed back of the wardrobe, making it accessible from the hallway. The exposed wardrobe can also be hided by the decorative curtains on the hallway wall, making it invisible if necessary.

As the design progresses, i noticed that the projector that was used to solved the TV issue can be a problem as the pendant light will block its ray. I tried to find a piano product that has a screen on its back, but no results were found. Therefore, i designed a integrated piano set that can contain a TV screen in side its back. The piano set will be controlled electronically, the screen can be expanded and retrieve at the users’ will.
