145 Bulk Storage

May be part of House for a Small Family (76), Self-Governing Workshops and Offices (80), Individually Owned Shops (87), Building Complex (95).

Conflict

In houses and workplaces there is always some need for bulk storage space; a place for things like suitcases, old furniture, old files, boxes- all those things which you are not ready to throw away, and yet not using everyday.

Resolution

Do not leave bulk storage till last or forget it. Include a volume for bulk storage in the building- its floor area at least 15 to 20 per cent of the whole building area- not less. Place this storage somewhere in the building where it costs less than other rooms- because, of cause, it doesn't need a finish.

May contain Sheltering Roof (117), Ground Floor Slab (215), North Face (162), Terraced Slope (169), Rooms to Rent (153).
