Casa Saliente: two-bedroom plan with a projecting side bedroom

Casa Saliente is the editorial name for this study of ResPlan plan 1470, reconstructed in 3D by Lodnor. One bedroom sits beside the kitchen, while the second projects from the opposite side of the living area. A bathroom adjoins the kitchen at the upper corner, and another occupies a lower bay beneath the projecting bedroom.

A projecting bedroom changes the shared boundary

Casa Saliente places one bedroom beside the kitchen and the second projecting from the opposite side of the living area. Bathrooms occupy the kitchen-side upper corner and a lower bay beneath the projecting bedroom. The shared room lies between these unequal conditions, making its actual edges especially important to a furniture proposal.

Its reported model bounds are about 10.07 × 6.67 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 projection is not a separate circulation wing

The projecting bedroom’s outline suggests a distinct position, but the summary does not establish an independent entrance or corridor. Trace its connection to the living area in the model. Compare that approach with the kitchen-side bedroom, keeping the bathroom bays as additional destinations rather than assuming matching private suites.

Use the actual living outline to place seating

Centering a sofa in the overall bounding rectangle could misread the usable shared room beside the projecting bedroom. Start with the living area’s real boundaries and bedroom approaches. A proposal should explain which route improves, rather than taking the projection as an excuse to add unsupported exterior space to the design.

Compare the two bedroom approaches around seating

Mark the projecting bedroom and kitchen-side bedroom openings. Sketch a seating group using the living room’s actual edge, then trace each bedroom-to-kitchen and bedroom-to-living trip. Compare an arrangement centered in the model bounds to see whether visual symmetry creates a less direct approach to the projecting room.

The projecting bedroom should remain part of the actual route comparison, not just a feature of the outline; verify its approach before adopting a visually centered seating arrangement.
