why a new room? did not satisfy the needs of consumer: adequate sleeping area independent work space (differentiated from sleeping area) entertainment area

individual interviews what are your top 3 uses of the room? what problems do you have? is there anything you'd like to be able to do in your room that you can't do now? individual interviews allowed for a discussion more in depth analysis details

design concepts: customizable movable/multipurpose clean lightweight materials (plastic, aluminum) clean lines and colors (white, black, grey, metal) multipurpose pieces (e.g. seating/storage)

bed lofted- leaves usable ground storage- slide out doors wheels- easily rearranged

desk storage- fit hanging folders wheels- rearrange room organization- slots for wire consolidation

wardrobe organization- hanging space for clothes/sliding drawers for shoes space saving- doors slide back into unit safety- locking mechanism wheels- rearrange room

bench storage- bin under seat book case in back wheels- rearrange room individualizes space- having guest seating gives purpose to all other areas
