Shoebox house concept

Introduction:
This project is design a 500 sq ft, less than half a typical 5-room 1200 sq ft HDB flat shoebox house for a newly wedded couples. This home aims to offers place to perform daily activities like cooking, resting and storage. Using bubble diagram and adjacency matrix to guide me in the making of this home a functional and inviting place.
Moodboard of scandinavian style, earthy feel to give the room a inviting and cozy feel.
Thought process:
I divided the space based on the needs and ease of moving from one room to another. Example, Living room has direct access to toilet because it is a place guests will need to use. While waiting for dinner to be served they can watch TV and once ready, they can move to the dining space which is just beside easily.
