Spatial requirements for design and production areas for a fashion designer
The area needed for a design and production area would often depend on personal preferences of the designer.
For a fashion designer it is likely that, depending on the scale of their productions, they would would need a minimum of a 2 room area.
One area would be the design office, this would contain space for a sketching board, plenty of space for placing drafts of ideas up on the walls around the office.
The other area would be the production, or prototype area. A place which would have perhaps a large table with sewing machines available.
Storage areas would also be useful. This would be to store various prototype fashion design garments or elements. A Change room area would be helpful for any models that come by to model the items, for fine tuning of production items.
