Table 2: Residential building checklist of adaptability design concepts. CS-2 (see Figure 1 and Table 2) is located on the eighth floor, with a southeast orientation, and is characterized by a clear division of spaces. This larger dwelling features a kitchen-dining area, living room, two bathrooms, a laundry room, and three bedrooms. User data suggests that it has undergone minimal modifications over time. However, the pronounced separation between spaces leads to functional issues; for example, the dining room is located a considerable distance from the kitchen, often resulting in its repurposing for other uses. The long layout suggests that the space could be better utilized.
