Current layout plan

The rack and steel locker standing there outside the door are located in the entry hall.

Brainstorming for new layout

Why a new layout?

Space is becoming restricted as more and more stuff and people need room. Also the workbench can produce dust and noise as well as the soldering table gives off some smells too.

If you want to try your own arrangement, here are the building blocks

One idea is to put the lockers in the middle of the room, forming a wall. This would separate the room into 2 parts. One workshop part and one desks part. On top of the lockers, using wood planks across, more storage room can be created. Our rooms are 3m high, and this way we can use that height.

Below are some layouts issued from brainstorming.

Just turning the steel lockers and put shelves on top to make more storage room

Using the lockers to build a wall, and a table as submerged entry point to a dedicated workshop. Yes, you always wondered what the jeffries tubes in Star Trek are so impractical? Well maybe this crazy idea shows that this stuff is just cool but plain silly.
