Japanese term

平面分割

Japanese to English Other Architecture
This term is used to describe the interior of an older home. It appears as follows:

このように和室に暖炉を備えるということ自体は明治時代に多く行われた方法だが、ここに****を使ったことや、棚板にかすかにカーブをつけたり、暖炉庇を円弧形のデザインにしたりすること、そして全体の平面分割の巧みさといった手法は独特のものである。

As with my last question (平面構成), while the subject matter is related to architecture, the document is for the general reader.

All suggestions are sincerely welcome.

Thank you.

Glad to be of your help, Steve. I think I picked "view" because things the author is discussing are not flat, and he is discussing the effect of how these objects divide the areas in his view.
Steve Henderson (asker) Dec 19, 2009:
Yuki,
Thanks to your suggestion, I see now that this is referring to the layout of the wall, or how it is broken up into its different design components.
Your suggestions are very much appreciated.
Yuki Okada Dec 19, 2009:
Yes, I agree that this is discussing a layout of the wall. "View" is from the viewer's point of view (effect).
Steve Henderson (asker) Dec 19, 2009:
Yuki,
Thank you for your reply. Yes, I agree that 平面 does not indicate a flat surface or line here. I wonder if it might not mean something like 'area' or 'layout'.

partitioning of (overall) view

I see a problem (difficulty) is that what is referred to as 平面 is not really a flat surface. I took it to be a view, or what you can see. Maybe you can come up with a better word, but does this idea work?
