**Imagine that you have just started to design the floor plan for a south-facing house with a rectangular shape of 18 x 66 feet, with 1500 square feet of space on the second floor. You have included four rooms, each with its own individual toilet, and a staircase to connect the two floors. As you review your plans, you begin to consider how to make the most of the available space and optimize the layout for comfort and functionality. Reflect on the unique design challenges and opportunities presented by the rectangular shape of the house. How might you use the length of the space to create a sense of flow and openness, while still maintaining the privacy and separation of the individual rooms? Consider how the orientation of the house will impact the distribution of natural light and air circulation throughout the space, and how you can design the layout to optimize these factors.** - Upscaled by <@1101770239022223470> (fast)
