Casa Horizonte: broad living core beneath a shallow kitchen bay
Explore Casa Horizonte, a study of ResPlan plan 9908: broad living core beneath a shallow kitchen bay.
Casa Horizonte is the editorial name for this study of ResPlan plan 9908, reconstructed in 3D by Lodnor. A living area spans the center and lower side of this two-bedroom rectangle. The kitchen sits in a shallow upper bay, while the bedrooms occupy opposite corners and the two bathrooms cluster beside the upper bedroom.
The living core spans the wide rectangle
Casa Horizonte has a broad living core across the center and lower side, with a shallow kitchen bay above it. The opposite-corner bedrooms and bathroom cluster give edges to that generous-looking shared space. Its breadth is a prompt for zoning, not confirmation that any furniture size will fit.
At approximately 13.41 × 6.60 m across its model bounds, this reconstruction gives a scale for comparing the room relationships. Multiplying those figures would describe a bounding rectangle rather than verified usable area, and the displayed furniture does not establish clearance.

Wide space still needs explicit routes
The long shared span links the bedrooms, kitchen and upper bathroom cluster. A central furniture group could create either useful zones or a series of detours. Compare the routes along the room’s edge with those across its center, particularly for the bedroom farther from the clustered bathrooms.
Match dining depth to the shallow kitchen edge
The shallow kitchen bay makes the adjoining shared space relevant to any dining proposal. A table close to that bay may shorten one trip while narrowing the working approach. Use the width to test alternatives rather than simply enlarging furniture because the overhead view seems expansive.
Compare an edge route with a central route
Sketch a dining table beneath the shallow kitchen bay and a separate seating group in the broad living core. Trace each bedroom-to-bathroom trip around their edges, then through the center. Compare which arrangement avoids detours while preserving room to work at the kitchen boundary.
The wide shared core gives alternative routes to compare, but the shallow kitchen edge still needs working space; select a promising arrangement for dimensioned review, not immediate purchase.
