The document provides requirements for designing a wardrobe for a 19-year old client. It includes specifications such as space for 6 pairs of shoes, 10 salwar suits, 8 cardigans, 20 clothes, and accessories. The designer calculates standard space requirements and allocates space in the 6' x 2' x 6' area for each item, maximizing storage. Drawings include plans, elevations and an isometric view of the designed wardrobe with various storage solutions like drawers, racks and hanging areas.

2. CASE STUDY
I am suppose to design a wardrobe for a client of age group 19 years.
The first step before doing any designing or planning is taking out requirements.
Requirements of my client:
Number of shoes (6 pairs of flat shoes).
The other materials with shoes are socks, shoe polish, brushes.
Mirror for dressing.
Place for keeping cosmetics and perfumes.
Place for keeping daily use clothes like salwar suits(10 ), jeans, t-shirts in hanging position
(approximately 20 clothes).
Place for keeping woolen clothes(8 cardigans).
Place for keeping party wear or special occasion clothes.
Place for keeping lingerie.
5. Space required for stocking those requirements.
1. For keeping shoes(6 pairs of flat shoes)
Area needed for keeping one pair of shoe = L x B
=9” X 10”
=90 sq. inch
Area needed for keeping six pair of shoe = 6 x Area needed for keeping one pair of shoe
=6 x 90 sq. inch
=540 sq. inch or 3.75 sq. ft.
I have given a drawer of size 2’9”x 2’ .
Six pair of shoes can easily be kept in this size of drawer. I will be keeping them in two horizontal line , 3 shoes in front
after that 3 shoes.
2. Area needed for hanging salwar suits(10)
Space needed for hanging one salwar suit= 4’x1’6” (4’ in long and 1’6” in width.)
Space needed for hanging ten salwar suit= 10 x Space needed for hanging one salwar suit
I have given a hanging space of 1’4” in length ,2’ in breadth and 4’6” in length.
10 pieces of salwar suits can easily be hanged over there.
6. Space required for stocking those requirements.
3. Area needed for keeping woolen clothes(8 cardigans)
Space needed for keeping one cardigans=
1’ in length ,1’ 6”in breadth , 3” in height
Space needed for keeping eight cardigans= 8 x Space needed for keeping one cardigan
8’ in length, 12’ in breadth and 24” in height
I have given two drawers of size= 2’9” in length , 2’ in breadth , 1’ in height
8 cardigans can be kept in this drawers , one 4 cardigans in one drawer and other 2 in another drawer.
4. Area needed for keeping folded t-shirts
Space needed for keeping one folded t-shirt= 1’2” in length and 10” in breadth and 2” in height.
I have given one rack of size= 1’2” in length ,2’ in breadth and 8” in height
Approximately 16- 20 tshirts can be kept there.
5. Area needed for keeping folded jeans
Space needed for keeping one folded jeans = 1’ in length and 10” in breadth and 3” in height.
I have given one rack of size= 1’2” in length ,2’ in breadth and 8” in height
Approximately 10-12 jeans can be kept there.
7. Space available for space planning:-
• Linear space available-
L x B = 6’ x 2’ = 12 sq.ft.
• Inner space (volume) available-
L x B x H = 6’ x 2’ x 6’ = 72 cu.ft.
9. To create any design I need to focus on the principles and
elements of design. For the space planning over here I
mainly focused on balance in a design with the basic
element shape which is very rightly said “Form Follows
Function”.
In the subsequent slides you will come across the space
planning created by me for my client.

17. Different concept of placement of doors
• Traditional concept
• Contemporary concept
Traditional concept:-
In traditional concept inset concept of door were used. In this concept the door were placed
inside the main frame and hinges were visible. It has been shown in below image.
Door was placed after the main frame.
This type of hinge was used.
18. Different concept of placement of doors
Contemporary concept:-
In contemporary concept full overlay and half overlay concept of door were used. hinges were not
visible from outside. In half overlay half space of the board was used to place that door and n the
other half space another door was placed. These concepts were also used in traditional concept
but the difference is use of hinges were different and in traditional concept hinges were visible
from outside which is not there in contemporary concept.
Hinges are not visible
In full over lay.
This type of hinge was used.
19. I have used contemporary concept of placement of
doors in my wardrobe.
20. Estimation of plywood or board used in making this
wardrobe
Size of one ply or board = L x B
=8’X4’
1. For outer structure of wardrobe
• For back side = 6’x6’ (6’ long and 6’ in breadth)
• For left and right side =2 x (6’x2’) (6’ long and 2’ In breadth)
• For base and top =2x ( 6’x2’) (6’ in length and 2’ in breadth)
total size=30’x14’
21. 2. For making inner partitions
Size base side=(1’4x2’) (1’4 In length
and 2’ in breadth.)
Size of back side=4’6”x1’4”(4’6” long
and 1’4” in length)
Size right side=(4’6”x2”) (4’6” long
and 2’ in breadth)
Size base side=2(1’5x2’) (1’5 In
length and 2’ in breadth.)
Size of back side=2(5’2” x1’5” )(5’2”
long and 1’5” in length)
Size right side= (5’2”x2”) (5’2” long
and 2’ in breadth)
Size of base side=2’10”x 2’ (2’10” In
length and 2’ in breadth.)
Size of back side=3’10”x2’10”(3’10”
long and 2’10” in length)
Size of left and right side=2(3’10”x2”)
(3’10” long and 2’ in breadth)
Inner partitions
one board of size 3’10”x2’
5 boards of size 1’4 ¼” x 2’
total size=10’4”x4’8” + 18’11”x 8’10” + 14’4”x
8’10”
=43’7”x22’4”
22. 2. For making drawers
Size top and base side=(2’9”x2’) (2’9”In
length and 2’ in breadth.)
Size of front and back side=2(9”x2’9”)(9”
long and 2’9”in length)
Size of right side= 9”x2’ (9”long and 2’ in
breadth)
There are two drawers of this size
Size top and base side=(2’9”x2’) (2’9”In length
and 2’ in breadth.)
Size of front and back side=2(12”x2’9”1’)long
and 2’9”in length)
Size of left and right side=2(1’x2’) (1’long and 2’
in breadth)
Size of middle division =1’x2’
Size base side=(1’4”x2’) (1’4”In
length and 2’ in breadth.)
Size of front and back
side=2(7”x2’9”)7” long and 2’9”in
length)
Size of right side= 7”x2’ (7”long
and 2’ in breadth)
total size=6’3”x9’6”+7’9”x13’6” +2’6”x6’9”
=16’6”x29’9”
23. 4.For making doors
Size of one door = 6’x1’6”(6’ long and 1’6” in width)
Size of four doors= 4 x size of one door
= 4( 6’x1’6”)
=24’x6’
Sub total of all =30’x14’ + 43’7”x22’4” + 16’6”x29’9”+ 24’x6’
=114’1”x72’1”
Approximate number of ply or board used in wardrobe=total size /size of one ply or board
= 114’1”x 72’1”/ 8’x4’
24. Total space I have created:-
Total area= 2. 7 Sq. ft+2.9 Sq. ft+16.15 Sq. ft.+2.8 sq. ft.+5.3 sq. ft.+ 10.6 sq. ft.+0.2 sq. ft.+0.6 sq.
ft.+1.4 sq. ft.
=42.65 sq. ft.
Total volume= 20.16 cu. Ft. +14 cu. Ft. +12 cu. Ft +2.5 cu. Ft.+ 4.1 cu. Ft.+11 cu. Ft.+0.09 cu. Ft. +
0.26 cu. Ft.+ 0.07 cu. Ft. + 0.6 cu. Ft.
=64.78 cu. Ft.
25. For any adult user for a wardrobe the standard size
required is 5 linear feet. Keeping into mind the
requirement of my client and space provided I created an
elevation for my design.
In my design I have utilized 6 linear feet on floor.

29. As an interior designer this project on space planning has made me
aware that a space of 6’ x 2’ x 6’ (L x B x H) has been made more
functional by creating more space from the space provided to us. I
have created 64.78 cu. Ft. in this space.
