Separating a space for efficiency in isolation (118 words)

In being isolated during the current pandemic, I found that it is important to attempt to separate the different environments within my bedroom, where I work, sleep and relax in this time. I first experimented with a façade wall to add more light to this (image) east-facing wall which faces a hill, blocking the limited natural light where my bed is placed, making it easier to get out of bed for a productive day when this light is maximised. I then created a loft above this area to elevate the bed for more light. This creates a cosy space for relaxation underneath, leaving the rest of the open space for a bright studying area, which I considered highly effective.
