Design principles for achieving spatiality in living space

Abstract

Achieving spatiality is one of the essential topics in designing living space meant to offer a higher level of space comfort. There are various methods to reach this objective: from neutralizing physical barriers in the interior, which would open the space from within; occasional (flexible) extension of certain space boundaries; partial, directed or total opening of the space towards the environment: forming systems of circular communications, and even application of some optical illusions that redefine the perception of space boundaries. Depending on the applied methods, space boundaries can be clearly marked or more or less obviously marked, or the space can be formed without revealing all its qualities to static observation, so the viewer has to go through it to obtain full perception of it. If there is a lack of physical possibilities or if improvement of previously mentioned approaches is required, it is possible to change the perceptive image of the space by virtual improvement through optical illusions. The aim of this paper is to consider and systematize basic design principles that can help organisation, shaping or materialization of living space to achieve a higher level of spatiality.
