Design a Dream House

To design a dream house, you first need to consider where to build your house! Visit Google Earth and Google Maps to find a place, you find most desirable. Your home should meet your needs and interests. You should choose a climate and location that is logical to live. You need to be sure you are safe and have enough shelter, food, water, and emergency support (fire, hospital, waste, etc.). Your home should be as fabulous as you would like, but consider your environment. You may want to use renewable resources for heat, energy, and building materials. You must be thoughtful about the environment you are planning to live in. Consider special features your house will need. Research other homes in the area you choose to find common home features, building materials, safety features, and recreational activities. Your dream home is not a fantasy home. You should have a reasonable number of floors and rooms. Your structure needs to support your home and your building materials need to make sense in your house. This is how you will be assessed. There is a right and wrong way to build a home!!!
