The maps illustrate the internal layout alterations that took place on the ground floor of a particular building between 1958 and the present day, showing its transformation from an office into an apartment and, eventually, a flower shop.
Overall, the building underwent a comprehensive internal reorganization, primarily characterized by the conversion of its original office into residential accommodation before being repurposed as a commercial flower shop. These internal redevelopments effectively optimized the interior space, with almost every section being repurposed or rearranged while the kitchen remained completely unchanged throughout the period.
Regarding the left half of the layout, significant alterations can be observed during the period shown. Initially, this section accommodated a meeting room, an assistant’s office, a secretary’s office, and a toilet. During the second stage, the meeting room gave way to a spacious living room, whereas the assistant’s office and secretary’s office were removed to make way for a bathroom with a shower. By the final stage, the living room and bathroom were replaced by a gift card area and a play area, while the remaining floor space was repurposed as a large flower display zone.
Turning to the right half of the building, additional developments occurred throughout the timeframe. At the beginning, this side consisted of a kitchen, a manager’s office, and a reception area. The kitchen remained completely intact in the same position across all three layouts. Meanwhile, the manager’s office and reception area witnessed the conversion into Bedroom 1 and Bedroom 2 when the building functioned as an apartment. In the final period, both bedrooms were removed to accommodate an office and another flower display area, reflecting the building’s transition into a retail establishment.
