Grade 4 IB PYP Classroom Floor Plan

Original Prompt: Create a highly detailed, realistic TOP-DOWN 2D classroom floor plan for a Grade 4 / Year 5 IB PYP classroom. Use the uploaded classroom layout image as the main visual reference for the style, organisation, furniture placement and labelled learning zones. **OVERALL DESIGN AND STYLE** Create a clear, professional architectural-style classroom map viewed directly from above, as though looking down at the classroom ceiling. The design should look like a detailed classroom blueprint or illustrated floor plan, NOT a 3D classroom illustration. Use a white background, thin navy-blue wall outlines, clear furniture illustrations, soft pastel colour accents and neat handwritten-style labels. Include furniture, chairs, shelves, rugs, plants, storage units, doors and windows. Every area should be clearly labelled and easy to identify. The classroom should look welcoming, organised, practical and suitable for 9–10-year-old students. The room should be spacious and organised, with clearly defined learning zones while remaining one shared classroom. Make sure furniture does not overcrowd the room and that there are wide, accessible walking pathways of approximately 3–4 feet between the main learning areas. **1.
