Casa Respiro: open living area around a kitchen and two bathroom bays

Casa Respiro is the editorial name for this study of ResPlan plan 5305, reconstructed in 3D by Lodnor. A single bedroom and a deep kitchen bay sit alongside the long living area. Two small bathroom compartments project from the opposite edge, with the open connecting space continuing between them.

Room bays define the shared space

At Casa Respiro, a deep kitchen bay and bedroom face a long living area, while two small bathroom compartments project from the opposite edge. The open connector continues between those bathrooms. The shared space is shaped by these smaller bays rather than by a uniform rectangular room.

Its reported model bounds are about 10.09 × 5.43 m in width and depth. This is a useful orientation cue for the cutaway, not a measured statement about a property. Judge the arrangement first, then verify the particular dimensions a proposal depends on.

The space between bathrooms has a purpose

The interval between the bathroom compartments is part of the connecting space. It may read as an inviting niche in a cutaway, but filling it could change how the plan works. Examine the kitchen approach and bedroom route before treating that interval as a display or storage area.

Balance the deep kitchen with the long room

A proposed dining zone should connect usefully to the kitchen without collapsing the open middle into a furniture corridor. Let the long living room absorb larger pieces where possible. Small furniture in the bathroom interval still needs the same doorway and passing checks as a large sofa.

Investigate the interval before naming its use

Locate the two projecting bathroom compartments. Draw a hypothetical shallow cabinet between them, then trace the connections toward kitchen and bedroom. Compare the cabinet’s placement with a position along the long living room and identify which option preserves the clearer approach to the bathrooms.

The interval between the bathroom bays should retain a visible connecting role; compare the cabinet’s use with that role before calling the interval spare storage floor.
