R3 – Separate wash basin provided for dining area.
R4 – Space under the stairs is well utilised for the toilet.
R5 – Parallel kitchen stove platform/counter are good for cooking & also create a workable kitchen work triangle.

R10 – Well planned bedroom with attached terrace & toilet.
Not Recommended
