Finding
The desk placement creates a privacy and comfort problem even without construction.
The entry sightline lands on the desk and screen zone, while the user's back faces the apartment door.
Suggestion
Rotate the desk, add a shallow shelf screen, or use the sofa back as a visual buffer.
FloorPlanCheck labels this as planning guidance. Construction, MEP, structure, gas, ventilation, code, and permit topics require qualified professional confirmation.
Designer question
Can we rotate the desk so the entry view does not land on the screen or the user's back?
This is the shareable line a user can copy into a remodel conversation instead of arguing from taste or intuition.
