| So my house is finally done (after almost a year of renovations. Yeesh) and I'm in the process of moving in. I created an area specially for a hobby room, which is sort of a loft built on top of the guest room. My architect did some initial sketches when he proposed doing the hobby room as a loft.
 
So after the rest of the house was completed, I got the architect to start designing the hobby room. The pictures below are 1st drafts:
 
The first floor is the guest area. Since I don't expect to have many guests, only a sofa bed is required. All around the sofa bed are display cases and storage space.
The concept art for the 2nd floor are below:
 
The display/storage space downstairs doubles as the stairs, which is limited to 6 steps due to the limited size of the room. Once when the 2nd floor is reached, there will be a wall mount for my airsoft guns. Immediately after that is the workdesk. The exhaust fan built-in to the wall is about a meter or so away from the desk so there needs to be customized casing to redirect the exhaust fans suction feature.
The section right above the balcony will be all filled with storage racks. These are indicated by the boxes with 'X'es. Opposite the storage racks are display racks made of glass. According to the architect, glass will reduce the 'heaviness' of the loft. I don't really see much point in it as I'd rather have more storage space in the loft itself. However, seems like the space is pretty cramped and the bigger display cases are only 20cm deep. Can't really be of any use as storage space.
I'm still thinking over the concept, although construction material costs have been shooting up. But I really want to get this right. |
