Circulation, sightlines, and furniture clearances for apartments where halls eat space and rooms open onto courtyards or busy avenues.
Many Louise-side apartments open into a dark hall with three doors. We place a slim console and a single light layer so coats do not block the kitchen swing, and we keep a clear path to the salon for guests arriving with shopping.
Enfilade rooms in Saint-Gilles work best when dining chairs leave 80–90 cm behind for pass-through. We avoid island tables that force a second path through the kitchen when the plan already offers one.
Street-facing bedrooms on Avenue Louise need heavier curtains and headboards that do not amplify echo. Courtyard bedrooms can take lighter textiles; we plan both types on the same sheet so purchases stay coherent.
Laundry corners tucked behind kitchens need folding surfaces that stow. We dimension shelves against existing meter cupboards common in Belgian co-owned buildings.
Before recommending a sofa, we record stair turns and cabin depth. Pieces that cannot arrive assembled are flagged for local joinery instead of distant online orders.
