Building table of areas
A Table of Areas is created when it is useful to present the Schedule of Areas in a visual format. This gives an immediate confirmation of the balance of spaces in your new home and helps to keep any exploration by the designer (i.e., you) on track and in proportion to their desired uses.
A simple site plan with boundary lines and obstacles should also be drawn alongside the schedule of areas so that the building areas can be seen in relation to the space available on the site and how this may challenge the clients desires and local council requirements. The shape of the rectangles representing the space areas is irrelevant - they are only indicating their comparative size and these spatial areas may contain a few rooms. For example: "a lounge area maybe open with an enclosed bay window area".
