sisejaotus

Sisejaotus is a Finnish term referring to the internal division or layout of space within a building. It describes how interior areas are arranged, bounded, and connected to form functional rooms, zones, and circulation paths. The concept is central to architecture and interior design, and it applies to both new constructions and renovations.

Key elements of sisejaotus include room boundaries, dimensions, and functions; adjacency relationships between spaces (which rooms should be next to each other); and the circulation system, such as corridors, doors, and transitions. It also covers zoning into private, semi-private, and public areas, as well as considerations for daylight, acoustics, heating, ventilation, and mechanical services. Architects and interior designers may use fixed walls, movable partitions, glass divisions, or other elements to realize the desired layout.

The planning process typically starts with user requirements and site analysis, followed by schematic floor plans, layout refinements, and often three-dimensional models. Practical aims include efficient use of space, clear wayfinding, flexibility for future changes, safety, and compliance with local building codes and accessibility standards. Cost, constructibility, and maintenance are also weighed during formulation.

Applications of sisejaotus span residential, office, educational, healthcare, and retail environments. In residential design, it governs the distribution of living rooms, bedrooms, and service areas; in offices, it affects work zones, meeting rooms, and public areas. Over time, the concept emphasizes adaptable layouts that can respond to changing needs while preserving comfort and usability.
