The structural comparison is more revealing. The city pairs a very large stock of high density centre apartments with extensive Victorian terraces, producing two opposite problems: one room that must do everything, and several rooms too specific to adapt. Our analysis finds circulation should be fixed before furniture in open plan spaces, protecting a 90cm main route and 60cm secondary paths, and that rugs, correctly sized so every seat's front legs stand on them, are what actually define zones. Extensive glazing and balcony doors remove wall runs and push storage into fewer, taller pieces, while in terraced through rooms the distance between chimney breasts, not room width, sets the maximum sofa length."}
