TIGHT FIT PLAN

First of all, let us know what is a Tight fit plan. Accordingly, a TIGHT FIT
exhibits a close correspondence between furniture and equipment. This is
an example of a tight fit plan, as you can see here is a space where in--the
living area and the dining area are just close to each other, just like this
picture. You may be wanted to eat then you can just easily and timelessly go
to the dining from the living area. In other word, in one space there are
different functions and different activities you can do.

TIGHT FIT PLAN

Another example of tight fit strategy. Here, there are beds, chairs, table, etc.
In this space you can sleep, study, or may be just sit there. It combines
together the activities in just one space.it is as if limiting or having a small
area so the designer or the user used the tight fit strategy yet its
functional, efficient, and also convenient: Do more locations with less.
Look at this space, its small, the things are closed exactly to each other,
but functional and easy to use space. It gives you a feeling of Im not
alone.

LOOSE FIT PLAN

Another strategy for planning a space is Loose fit plan strategy. To know
about this concept let us breakdown some characteristics of it: Loose fit
gets maximum flexibility, provides rooms which fit around the activities,
Interchangeability, the flexibility to easily reprogram a space designed for
one function, and allows the freedom to reconfigure at will.
See, the floor plan above expresses a wide, an open plan. Just by looking at
it you will know that in each space it only has one function. But in one space
it also has a wide or maybe a huge space. In this picture (a plan) offers the
users to have an activities in different spaces in the house. Like eating,
cooking, having a meeting with someone, sleeping, etc.

LOOSE FIT PLAN

Wide. Spatial. Freedom. Accessible. Convenient. Flexible. Wonderful. At the
same time, the feeling of being no one is there but me and having that kind
of space: what will I do? Thats what I thought upon seeing this picture.
This is an example of loose fit strategy. As what the characteristic provided,
it has maximum flexibility. Look at the dining area, it is far away from the
other areas. This is what makes this picture an example of loose fit plan. You
can change furniture according to what season, occasion, and mood you
have. Thats why it says, it is INTERCHANGEABLY.
