Interior ground plans is a 1968 by Robert Heritage, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a 1968 sketchbook page by British designer Robert Heritage. It shows floor plans for one house split three ways. One layout has separate rooms. The others combine kitchen and dining spaces. Heritage worked on furniture for Gordon Russell Ltd. He sketched these plans to plan furniture sizes. The drawing uses bold black lines and symbols to mark rooms.

A 1968 sketchbook page by British designer Robert Heritage shows three ground plans of a single house, each divided differently. The left plan features separate living room, dining room, and kitchen, while the other two use combined kitchen-diners and lounge-diners. Executed in solid black felt-tip pen with red-ink symbols for functions such as a cooking pot, dining table, and easy chair, the drawing is highly diagrammatic. The sheet, watermarked VICTORY BOND, has two punched holes on the left margin and includes pencil inscriptions.

Robert Heritage liked to map spaces on paper the way architects do—except his plans were more like puzzles made of rooms and doorways.
