All homes should provide for the comfort, convenience, and safety of the occupants. The design of each room should facilitate the main activities likely to be carried out in that room. Related or compatible activities should be accommodated in the same room or in adjacent rooms or spaces, e.g., dining areas should be close to food preparation. Noisy group activity areas should be remote from study or relaxation areas and should provide for reasonable privacy for living rooms and bedrooms, taking account of likely internal and external sources of noise. In homes of two or more storeys, to cater for the possibility that the occupant of a home may have reduced mobility in the future, the potential for providing bed space at the main entrance level can be considered. Such an arrangement may also facilitate ‘working from home’ possibilities. The home should be designed to make effective use of natural daylight and sunlight, as far as practicable, oriented so that all main rooms get direct sunlight at some time during the day. The size, shape and location of windows should also be designed to obtain optimal benefit from natural light and available views, with due regard for the need for privacy. A view to the street from a habitable area is desirable, and window locations should facilitate overlooking of the private external space and allow surveillance of the immediate surroundings of the home. Living room windowsills should ideally be below the eye-level of seated persons. In general, adequate space should be provided for the following : - The normal range, and typical arrangement of, furniture for each room - Freedom of circulation, appropriate to likely activities - Movement of larger items of furniture into and between rooms - Space for family gatherings, including visitors - Working area and storage facilities - Door swings which don’t interfere with other doors, furniture or circulation routes - Location of radiators and other fittings in a way that doesn’t limit the arrangement of furniture within a room.

Ba cheart go mbeadh gach áititheoir compordach, ar a caoithiúlacht agus sábháilte ina baile. Ba cheart go n-éascódh dearadh gach seomra na príomhghníomhaíochtaí a bheidh le cur i gcrích sa seomra sin. Ba cheart go mbeifí in ann gníomhaíochtaí gaolmhara nó comhoiriúnacha a dhéanamh sa seomra céanna nó i seomraí nó spásanna in aice láimhe, e.g., ba cheart go mbeadh seomraí bia gar d’áiteanna ullmhúcháin bia. Níor cheart go mbeadh seomraí ina bhfuil gníomhaíocht ghlórach ghrúpa ag tarlú gar do sheomraí staidéir nó scíthe agus ba cheart go mbeadh dóthain príobháideachais i seomraí suí agus i seomraí codlata, agus ba cheart foinsí torainn inmheánacha agus seachtracha a d’fhéadfadh a bheith ann a chur san áireamh. I dtithe ina bhfuil dhá urlár nó níos mó, chun freastal ar an bhféidearthacht go mb’fhéidir go mbeadh soghluaisteacht laghdaithe ag áitritheoir tí amach anseo, is féidir machnamh a dhéanamh ar an bpoitéinseal a bhaineann le spás leapa a chur ar fáil ag leibhéal an phríomhbhealaigh isteach. Chomh maith leis sin, d’fhéadfadh socrú den sórt seo deiseanna a chur ar fáil ‘a bheith ag obair ón mbaile’. Ba cheart an teach a dhearadh ionas go mbeifear in ann úsáid éifeachtach a bhaint as solas nádúrtha an lae agus as solas na gréine, a mhéid is indéanta, agus a chinntiú go mbíonn solas díreach na gréine ag scalladh isteach i ngach príomhsheomra am éigin i rith an lae. Ba cheart méid, cruth agus suíomh na bhfuinneog a dhearadh ar bhealach a chinntíonn go bhfuil an méid tairbhe agus is féidir á baint as solas nádúrtha agus na radhairc atá ar fáil, agus aird chuí a thabhairt ar an ngá atá le príobháideacht. Tá amharc ar an tsráid ó limistéar ináitrithe inmhianaithe, agus ba cheart go n-éascódh suíomhanna fuinneog radharc ar an spás seachtrach príobháideach agus radharc ar an gceantar mórthimpeall ar an teach. Go hidéalach ba cheart go mbeadh leaca fuinneoige faoi leibhéal súl daoine atá ina suí. Go ginearálta, ba cheart dóthain spáis a chur ar fáil le haghaidh: - • An gnáthchineál troscáin, agus an gnáthshocrú troscáin i ngach seomra - • Saoirse gluaiseachta, oiriúnach do na gníomhaíochtaí a bheidh ar bun - • Píosaí móra troscáin a bhogadh isteach i seomraí agus idir seomraí - • Spás d’ócáidí teaghlaigh, cuairteoirí san áireamh - • Limistéar oibre agus áiseanna stórála - • Luascadh doirse nach gcuireann isteach ar dhoirse eile, troscán nó bealaí cúrsaíochta - • Radaitheoirí agus feistis eile a eagrú ar bhealach nach gcuireann srian le heagrú troscáin i seomra.
