Sample Detail

The maps illustrate the layout transformations of the ground floor of a building across three different time periods: 1958-1984 (as an office), 1985-2000 (as an apartment), and from 2001 to the present (as a flower shop). Overall, it is evident that the area was significantly modernized, undergoing complete functional conversions over time. While the kitchen remains the only untouched feature throughout all periods, all other original structures have been replaced or redesigned to suit different purposes. Looking first at the period between 1958 and 1984 when the building served as an office, a toilet was situated in the bottom-left corner near the entrance. Moving further up along the left wall were the secretary’s office, assistant’s office, and a meeting room. On the opposite side, a reception area was positioned at the bottom right, adjacent to a manager’s office in the middle, while the kitchen occupied the top-right corner. Between 1985 and 2000, the space was converted into an apartment. On the left side of the hallway, the toilet, secretary's office, assistant's office, and meeting room were demolished to make way for a bathroom with a shower and a living room. On the right side, the reception area and manager's office were replaced with two bedrooms (Bedroom 1 and Bedroom 2), while the kitchen remained unchanged in the top-right corner. From 2001 to the present day, the building has been transformed into a flower shop. On the left side, the bathroom was converted into a play area, while the living room was replaced by a section for gift cards. Across the hallway, the two bedrooms were replaced with a new office and an area for flower displays, with additional flowers arranged along the left side. The kitchen in the top-right corner has stayed intact throughout all three phases.
