The plans below show how the ground floor of a particular buildings has changed over time.

The floorplan shows how a building has changed from 1958 to the present day. Looking from an
overall
perspective, it is readily apparent that the building has served both commercial and residential purposes with the only area remaining unchanged being the kitchen. At present, the flower shop has a more open layout relative to when it was an apartment and
office
. In 1958, the building was used as an
office
with a meeting
room
in the top left
corner
of the floorplan, an assistant’s and secretary’s
office
below there and a toilet in the bottom left
corner
. In 1985, the meeting
room
was extended and turned into a living
room
and a large bathroom and shower took the place of the offices and toilet. The florist shop contained a gift card
room
in the top left, a large open space for flowers and a play area in the bottom left
corner
. On the right side, the kitchen in the top
corner
was unaltered across all iterations of the ground floor. In comparison, there was a manager’s
office
on the right-hand side and a reception area in the bottom
corner
. These spaces were allocated for bedrooms in the apartment and are now an
office
and additional space for flowers.
