First start with the outer walls, because the outer dimensions are known. Then continue with the front door, entrance area and the stairs – the remaining rooms follow around these. It is then a matter of accommodating all the necessary rooms in the house in suitable “dimensions” and developing a feeling for spatial planning. The fine-tuning of the rooms/room sizes then follows. Furniture and furnishings are cut to scale and placed in the rooms. Whether private housing, administrative buildings or furniture design: the planning and design of interiors is the primary task of the interior designer. This applies to both new and existing buildings.
