The map of the flat was created as soon as I arrived home after the first visit to C's home. After about 20 minutes, I created the following map.

The map was created by the app HouseDesignFree, which was fairly easy to use. The built-in icons allowed me to roughly outline the furniture in the space.

Apps with advanced features, such as SketchUp, were available, but it had a steeper learning curve than HouseDesignFree. Since the flat I visited only had two rooms, I decided not to spend too much time on crafting the map and instead focus on other aspects of the research.

During in-class discussions, a common anxiety shared by the students was how to make the map interactive. Specifically, a few classmates struggled to find convenient ways to zoom in and zoom out particular portions of the map. Tools such as Prezi and ThingLink were suggested.

Since there were only two rooms in my fieldsite, a static floor plan should be sufficient to present the look of the home. This particular map was used in a sheet for the participant to record her reading habits, and she agreed that it could represent her living quarters.¹
