| Abstract |
This study examines the influence of spatial elements on perception of amenity and efficiency to propose an effective alternative that can satisfy users' needs for bedroom space. Experiments and surveys were performed for bedrooms of a house, which were created virtually using software. Five bedrooms with different furniture layouts were used and forty subjects participated in the experiments and survey. Results indicate that the perception of amenity and efficiency enhanced, when the widths was longer than depths of bedrooms. Overall satisfaction in terms of amenity was influenced by the width, depth and finishing materials. The influence of a depth was stronger than other elements. The height of space was irrelevant to the satisfaction of amenity. Overall satisfaction in terms of efficiency was influenced by the height, depth and color of material. The width of space was not an influential factor for the satisfaction of efficiency. |
