About Me
- Bridge Studio 2010
- Ames, IA
- Hello and welcome to the Bridge Studio 2010 Blog! Here you will be able to follow Iowa State University Design students as they work collaboratively with the City of Corning, Iowa to develop a design for an affordable and sustainable single family home. Though the studio is only designing one home for one site, the hope is to create a model home that can then be applied to multiple sites within the community of Corning, and possibly throughout the state. We heavily encourage you to leave comments on the work below each post, as we hope the blog will generate democratic, cooperative, and interdisciplinary discussion.

-Switch laundry appliances with toilet in combined restroom/laundry space
If you removed the dead end hallway and flipped the entrance to the lower left bedroom and the closet, and then placed the doorway for the bathroom at the end of the halway you could increase storage space and sqare footage in the rooms rather than the rarly utilized hallway. This plan is similar to the 4 square homes that were built in the early 1900's in Iowa. Very efficient use of space.
