Casa Continuidad: lower open kitchen–living zone beneath two bedrooms

Casa Continuidad is the editorial name for this study of ResPlan plan 3295, reconstructed in 3D by Lodnor. An uninterrupted kitchen and living zone spans the lower part of the plan. Two bedrooms sit above it, separated by a narrow bathroom, while another bathroom projects beside the kitchen beneath one bedroom.

One continuous shared band beneath private rooms

Casa Continuidad gives the lower drawing a continuous kitchen–living zone, with two bedrooms above. A narrow bathroom separates the bedrooms, while the other bathroom projects beside the kitchen. The open shared band and projecting service bay therefore need to be read together rather than treating openness as a uniform condition.

The public model reports an approximate overall width and depth of 9.02 × 7.41 m. Those are model bounds, not internal room measurements or a usable floor-area calculation; recesses and wall thickness make that distinction relevant here.

Open space carries the bedroom approaches

The continuous lower zone accommodates shared activities and the approaches to the upper room group. Dining or sitting furniture can create useful boundaries, but their edges may take space from the same cross-routes. Examine the projecting bathroom beside the kitchen as a fixed edge in those circulation checks.

Use zoning instead of assuming a divider is needed

An open kitchen–living band does not automatically need a screen. Start with furniture arranged to preserve the bedroom routes and kitchen-side bathroom approach. If a divider is proposed later, test its footprint against those connections; visual separation should not consume the clear space that makes the band useful.

Test a divider against the unbroken route

On a screenshot, trace the kitchen–living connection and approaches to both bedrooms. Sketch a hypothetical screen between cooking and seating, then compare the same arrangement without it. Identify whether the screen provides a useful boundary or merely forces a detour beside the projecting bathroom.

The screen should justify its loss of openness by a clear spatial benefit, while the projecting bathroom remains a fixed boundary rather than space a proposed divider can borrow.
