Step 2: Decide the purpose (because it changes the design)
Design changes depending on use:
- Rental unit: prioritize private entry, storage, laundry, and durable finishes
- Family / multigenerational: accessibility, comfortable living space, and quiet zones
- Home office / guest: flexible layout, good light, and a compact kitchenette strategy
When the use is clear, the design becomes simpler—and more livable.
