Windows should be a source of light, the rooms located so that it was convenient to go from the kitchen to the bedroom, and get out of the bedroom to the bathroom. All designed to perform only the assigned function room, no more. Decorative and excess non-existent. All forms - very geometric with right angles, with no breaks or curved lines. Apartment-like hives, houses with flat roofs and windows are often continuous strip, especially in industrial buildings. All in a functional interior limited function of a piece of furniture. Furniture has the same geometric shape as the layout of the apartment.
