How to design your own home

Bubble diagram

The Performance Specification will tell you what each space must provide, and the Schedule and Table of Areas will state the size of these areas but you will also need to establish the relationships of these spaces to one another. The relationship diagram or "Bubble Diagram" is a very simple drawing that consists of roughly drawn bubbles (representing spaces) connected by solid lines, broken lines or wavy lines to specify what kind of relationship is wanted.

For example: A lounge area may need a direct physical connection to the dining room but only a visual connection to the view of the ocean and an acoustic connection to the baby's room down the hall.

Example bubble diagram

Keep bubble around the same size as the actual areas need to be drawn in the schedule and table of areas.
