circle and design a private room for the member to their left. Students will therefore be both the client and the designer.

2. During consultations, clients will be asked to select preferences from a list of options for their private room in a shared apartment.

3. Each client will have 100 points to allocate options which will reflect personal & / or cultural backgrounds.
