I just got into the thread now. Very interesting at least
The bend stays is the credo.
A lot has already been said and I have looked at the site plan and the floor plan x times now and from the many points mentioned and what was still running around in my head, two essential ones stuck with me:
- The orientation of the bend bothers me. The long side faces the street and the short side faces the garden. This results in maximum adjacency to the "bad" side and minimal adjacency to the good (garden) side. The actual logic would say, give the nice side more area and rotate the bend. If you imagine the shadow cast by a cone of light, you can perhaps also imagine that this would correspond more to the desired soundproofing.
- If it has to stay as it is, the entrance, for my taste, must be at the tip of the bend. Only that would be consistent. It creates a kind of left and right wing with which one could work well with the room layout. As it currently is, I don't like it at all. And that is not because of a problem corner but because of the overall concept.
