The brief is for an Indian family of 4 (2 parent and 2 children) who just moved here to Australia about 5 years ago, and they plan on expanding the family. 

"The couple move into their new but old Post War era home. They are still excited as this is their own home but do plan on renovating the space little down the track.

The plan for their remodel is, they want their children to grow up with a similar sense to their own upbringing, that means a very open plan and a lot of shared spaces and only private spaces where absolutely necessary. They want their children to be raised in an environment that is accomodating to change and constant adaptation, preparing them for the outside world. 

The new plan has open walls where there used to be bedrooms, this makes the house feel bigger than it is and provides opportunities for interaction between the family. 

The moving wall between the living room and kitchen serves 2 purpose, it provides some sense of privacy and separation when wanted and second regulates the circulation, forcing you to go through the living and into the dining to get to the kitchen or the rear part of the house, forcing interaction and involvement.  

The back end of the house is where things get private, it’s a space for the adult of the house, as the age demands privacy."

The single beds shown across the plan, fold up on the wall opening circulation during the day and help create separation and individualisation at night.

In an Indian household it very common for children to not have their own rooms, this does not mean they don't get the same facilities like any other children.The closets are in an open room also a very common thing for a typical Indian plan.
