Splitting unit O8

[Lee]

Hello @reef-coordination,

Just a quick update: following up to the suggestion by @els and @Sarah about splitting unit O8 (Obelix +3, left), I discussed the idea a bit more in detail with François.

His concerns are that this would lead to units that are less attractive: the one in Obelix +3 on the left would no longer have a living room with windows on both side, and the 3BR to be created in Asterix (135 m²!) would probably also have an oddly shaped living room.

He’s gonna make a drawing nevertheless, so that we can make an informed decision. So also ping @reef-recruitment and @reef-external: it is not 100% sure where the 2 BRs that are now free will be located.

I’m a bit confused I understand the discussion about splitting O8, but I must have missed something about Asterix… are we not turning the 4 studios on the Idefix side into two 2-bedrooms now?

My suggestion was to take O8 and O9 and convert them into a 2 bedroom and 1 bedroom, not purely split O8…

The two are linked, because if O8 would become a 2BR, we need a 3BR elsewhere to keep the proportions in balance. In that case on the back side of Asterix there would be one studio and one (duplex) 3BR. We’ll have more news next week.
