This has got me scratching my head. Why put the kitchen in the bedroom? Surely the living room would make more sense if there's a lack of rooms available.

And going through the bedroom for the kitchen? Eh???

The traditional tenement layout is a kitchen room and a living room with a bed in a recess. When the flats were redeveloped the recesses were often knocked together to make a kitchen with open access to the living room. The middleton street tenements (if memory serves) were 3 on a floor and the middle flats were very small.


see this floor plan for a more tradition modernization of a G51 tenement

But surely bedrooms and lounges are simply defined by the furniture within them and you get to choose what you want the rooms to be when you position your own furniture??

The current occupant wants the large room as a lounge, so that is where he has the sofa and puts the bed in the kitchen. Nothing to stop the next occupant from doing the reverse, is there?

I know it's a studio flat but this is still the smallest kitchen I've ever seen.

Tenements would have had shared toilet facilities rather than their own bathroom generally which is why there is an unusual layout now.

How do you get stuff in and out of the cupboard above the built in microwave - looks like the cooker hood is in the way.
