Affordable house- Floor Plans

1.  We spent a few classes sketching and designing out floor plans for our houses.  First we would use bubbles to get the general location of our rooms.  Once we made the bubble sketch we would move on to making a 2D realistic sketch of our house.  Once we completed 2 drawings, we would demension them to make sure we stayed within the Affordable House restrictions.  Once complete, our client picked their favorite of the two and we started using revit.

4. REFLECTION: I think sketching our houses was very helpful.  The bubble drawings helped to make sure we knew where we wanted each room to be.  Once I found out the general design of my house it was easy to add other components such as  hallways and doorways.

Affordable House-Revit Drawings

1. In this project we designed an Affordable House and drew it in revit.  We got to design everything and insert appliences.  We got a lot more experience with revit and building a house was very cool.  We did everything from dimensions to insulation and every llittle detail counted.\
3. I think this project was very interesting.  I enjoyed working on revit alot and now i feel comfortable on it.  It felt good to acomplish a project this important and I know more now.  The hardest part was probably getting enough room for all the required appliences and making my client happy, but overall the project was fun and educational.
