The purpose of this report is to highlight the increased need that married women have for personal space within their residences, and to discuss suitable locations for such space in the house plan from a lifestyle perspective. A strong need exists to maintain their own personal workspace in their home. It is not always a room, but sometimes it can be located in a corner of the living room or bedroom. There are two primary needs that govern the placement of the personal space, both of which relate deeply with their responsibility to perform housework and provide childcare. They are “the need to be separate from” and “the need to be adjacent to” the living room.
