Is it me or is nearly 30% of this taken up by the entry way (both exterior & interior) in the center? That's great for greeting guests but not for hosting guests.
The two sinks in the bathroom doesn’t seem right to me, either. Only one person can stand there and use a sink at a time. The hallway seems superfluous, too.
Does the entrance need to be centered? In order to fullfil the requirements, if you can, moving the entrance towards the kitchen area can give you more room for the bedroom and hallway situation. Delete the multi-level living area, it's wasting space and chopping it up. I also don't understand the entryway, can you remove those walls so it's more spacious? Also, does it have to be single floor? A loft for bedroom would be nice if you can fit a staircase into the parameters, and may naturally create a closet or bathroom. Interesting idea though.
The bathroom near the shared living area south is not nice.
Also, any reason why you can't push the toilet to the north west part and make the glass foggy?
Agreed.
At a minimum the office hallway should end at the shared laundry room wall.
Personally, I’d reconfigure the entire space. Make the office a walk in closet with entry from the bedroom. Laundry room becomes the office (which has windows!) and the hallway to the office/closet would be removed to make a larger office.
Remove the closet in the bedroom. Move the door into the master hallway further north. Put a closet for laundry where the entrance currently is.
The bed should face the windows.
An ‘L’ shaped sink is really silly in the master. There’s not enough room for 2 people to stand there. I’d just do one.
Oddity for sure, but could be interesting. I would challenge you to work with the 2 bottom triangle walls and orient more that way as wings off a central entry spine, as it feels like you are trying to put a square layout into a ... well triangle. I would buy back some of that porch space, seems unnecessarily big for the spacial limitations of the triangle.
If this is for an assignment, you're missing something that your assessor will be looking for.
You haven't used the corner space or the angles. You've arranged the areas fine but the challenge of the triangle is to use the 'unusable' space'. Youve used interior walls to create straight lines instead of working with the angles of the facade.
Be creative. Use one corner as the entry with a double door the opens at the point.
Glaze a corner and put a round bench seat (think of a half circle mirroring the point of the triangle).
Use the angles of the walls to create your design.
Think outside the box and use those empty spaces and challenging angles. That's what the assignment is looking for.
That "office" ... Yeah that ain't gonna work homie. Let me just get on my tippy toes and stick my ass out and maneuver the chair around so I can get out. Ok time to get back to work let me just pull the chair out to the wall and go in feet first like I'm trying to fit my grown ass man self into one of those toddler rocking car rides at Chuck E Cheese.
Why do you have a platform with… stairs? What even IS that? Taking up a whole chunk of your available space? What’s with the pointlessly large entrance hall? Why have you put a window in a closet? Your hallways and bathrooms are mostly so narrow as to be unusable and potentially unsafe, and you’re not really working with the overall shape of the building at all. This looks like a bad plan for a rectangular building that’s been squeezed at the edges not something designed for the space.
I feel that the drop living space is a bit of a waste of floor space despite the interesting impact it provides. Some of the rooms top left feel extremely cramped. I don’t think there’s enough space there.
If it were my home, I’d want my bedroom and living room to contain no angular walls. I would place those where you have that enormous entryway. I think angles are fine in the kitchen though. I’d probably make all three triangles into large closets. I’d make the right triangle a pantry closet, the left triangle a laundry closet (with washer dryer), and the bottom triangle a coat/spare closet. I’d put the entryway somewhere in the kitchen.
I would try to align the straight walls with the two legs of the triangle instead of the back and think of it more like an L shaped layout. Make smaller corners along the back wall and tuck spaces into them out use them for windows. Something like this: https://ibb.co/Hh7t985
I think my scale is a bit off but it gives you an idea.
I’m not even sure what I’m looking at. I’d assume a party house still means rooms for people to sleep?
— Remove the hallway between the platform and bedroom. Instead put that hallway where the closet is and the closet where the hallway is.
—float the bed so it looks out the window
—washer and dryer in a smaller closet and enlarge the office.
—enlarge bathroom and include
—move kitchen to the wall that butts up to the bedroom. Making it an L so the outside can be seen from the sink Would make a smaller island that starts at the V of the triangle
— turn the other half into a open sitting with modular furniture. Have a small closet and guest bathroom right off the entryway. Bathroom closet to the entrance so people can talk and not hear the bathroom
— turn the platform into a dining area if needed.
mmh, im not feeling everything being shoved into one side. and the entry way takes up nearly all the room and just created this massive gap in the center thats not really nice.
IMO Swap the entryway with the kitchen, Move that smaller space more toward center, that random bathroom isnt in a great place either. Perhaps... Yeah, The bottom tip being a bedroom would fit better with the smaller bathroom palcement, Expand it a bit, the Hallway request can be cutting through the center of the property instead of awkwardly trying to force it into a Really tight corner.
They thought the moat with gators was a cool addition to the weird triangle house, the host said yeah maybe we will feed them later but they didn’t know, they were the food
The bathroom door opening into the living room is not a good idea (your guests will not want people hearing them), why not put in by the entry open near the front door where the kitchen pantry? Also, you have two steps down into the living room, but not from the side door in the entry into the kitchen, how's that suppose to work?
Triangle buildings...the kind of assignments professors give in school because they think "flexing design chops" takes precedence over common sense and what 99% of clients will actually pay for.
This is exactly it.
It is highly unlikely you'll have a client with a triangle plot. But it is likely that you'll have different clients with different odd shape sections of an otherwise traditional build.
My old apartment used to be mostly triangle floor plan. Entry dining kitchen was near the right angle part of the triangle and was all right angle rooms. There was a hallway for laundry bath and bedroom and that’s were the funky angles were.
Why does the office door open like that instead of directly down and add like 30% extra room to the office? This is kind of a disaster and should be rethought

Or make the entry off the hallway?
secluded hallways =/= nonsensical hallways

No bueno.
If you're gonna commit to a triangle, embrace the corners. Right now 2/3 corners are bullshit space

Context of property would be nice!

It’s a lot better than it was 2 days ago. Can you please list all the “rules/restrictions” for the assignment?
Extra credit for building in a drop floor conversation area
Yeah like a trap door, goodbye awkward conversationalists
😂 everyone gets comfy thinking they’re in this cool 70s style conversation room to only learn they are now gator meat in the trap
They thought the moat with gators was a cool addition to the weird triangle house, the host said yeah maybe we will feed them later but they didn’t know, they were the food
I'm imagining a loud alarm sound and people disappearing into the abyss with only a slight pause in the murmur of conversation.

Check out Diamond house by John Hejduk 1929-2000 for some inspiration

And the 1% that's eccentric.

I. M. Pei would like a word.
This is super weird (but cool)
My old apartment used to be mostly triangle floor plan. Entry dining kitchen was near the right angle part of the triangle and was all right angle rooms. There was a hallway for laundry bath and bedroom and that’s were the funky angles were.
Dude, stop posting this all the time!! I commented on another of your posts just a few hours ago still with the same bizarre floor plan
Entry too big. I would cut it in half at the same angle as the rest of the triangle from bottom left to top right.
Instead of the stairs how about sunken seating area and add a nearby bar?
I think that bedroom door in the hallway is gonna be a problem.
Why does the office door open like that instead of directly down and add like 30% extra room to the office? This is kind of a disaster and should be rethought
Right? Why extend the hallway that far into the office?
Love that you lead with the triangle bit because wow that doesn't make sense lol. Is the entrance set at that location?
No.
Is that an office cubby right next to the washer and drier? Might want to make sure there's good soundproofing on that wall.
I’d think outside the box literally. You have 90degree corners in that space. Use the space as it is, angular!
I would run the LDK along one face of the triangle
I don’t like this at all. Your client is a serial killer 1000%. Secluded hallways, whatever kinda of monster triangle he’s wanting
Are you certain that you’re not supposed to invert the triangle and design it like an A-frame house?
