Step 1) Architectural brief (1 paragraph)
Build a profile of the people you are building the house for and include some considerations for house based on the family and the specifics of the property
Step 2: Plot Plan
Step 3: Bubble & Block diagrams
- Ensure that you maintain proper traffic flow patterns and keep the finished spaces of the house to the size restrictions. Assume that the family intends to use the green space behind their home in some sort of finished back yard.
- If applicable, you may use the house planning steps from Assignment #11 house A
Step 4: Floor & Foundation plans EXEMLARS: FOUNDATION PLAN | FLOOR PLAN
- You are to draw full scale in CAD. Foundation plan should include joists, beams and posts as well as the footer. The floor plan should include relevant dimensions and major furnishings.
- If applicable, you may use the house Autocad plans from Assignment #12
Step 5: Front Elevation SKETCH
- Include the elevation sketch from Assignment #11
Step 6: 3D model (Sketchup) EXEMPLAR: INDOOR | OUTDOOR
- Complete a detailed model with realistic materials and appropriate dimensions. Ensure the house is placed on the actual piece of land in sketchup so that we're able to judge shadows during the year. Ensure rough yard features are present
- If applicable, you may use the sketchup design for your house from Assignment #12.
Step 7: Model EXEMPLAR
- Plan the modeling of the lot to harmonize with the style of the house model. This model is part of the overall presentation and the completion of the assignment. Therefore, your model must be coordinated with all the other drawings.
- You will need approximately 3 sheets of foam core (30” X 30”) to complete the model building. Use one as your base to create the landscape and to layout the positioning of the house. The remaining 2 will be needed to build the structure.
- You can find patterns for exterior walls, windows, doors and may forms of stone work for walkways or decking on the internet. Print and use for the model.
- While you can use any scale, something around 1"=24" is probably the easiest to work with in imperial, while in metric 1cm=30cm will likely work best.
