Room Dimension Questions

Posted by Sibelius (A) on July 22, 2014 at 10:55:21

Greetings All,

I'm working on a house remodel and I'm fighting over a few feet with the architect. Well, not really fighting, trying to figure out where to use about 3 feet of "extra" space in the design. I've already lost the big fight about adding onto the front of the house, they tell me it's a budget breaker.

So here's the situation. The room is to be shared as a music/movie room. It is just a small bedroom, currently 10 X 11.5 (used to be my music room, then the babies came). We are taking out the closet and buying 3 feet in one direction. The space then becomes 13 X 11.5. There is another 3 feet available between the adjoining bath and bedroom. Is it worth my arguing over? The best I could get would be 13 X 14.5. Most likely would be 13 X 13.5, or 13 X 12.5. I know all those dimensions are nearly square and for most that's a no no, but would I really notice? It never really bothered me in the smaller nearly square room before. I could also spend some money on treatments and appropriate speakers if necessary. Ceiling height might also be variable depending on cost. I've got some solid reasons for taking the 2 foot option, but don't know if the 1 foot option would be worth the effort to move that wall.

Either way I'll just be happy being able to bring my stuff out of the closet and put it back in use, assuming it's still functional.
