Design Time

Put on your Architect hat.

Create a blueprint of your dream home space. Your home should have an area of 5,000 square feet. Your home must include at least one bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, and living room. Your home may include as many additional rooms as you wish (game room, indoor pool, gym, etc.), however the entire interior house space must have a total area of 5,000 square feet.

Use graph paper and erasable pencils to draw out your design from a birds eye view (from above, looking down on the house). If you finish early consider furniture layouts for each room and draw in your designs as well as lines and shapes to mark windows and doors. On a piece of paper, write down the area of each room.

100 square feet = 1 square on graph paper

5,000 square feet = 50 squares on graph paper
