This is a two story vinyl siding house. Since this house is two stories there are many different types of rooms. There are three bedrooms, two bathrooms, dining room, kitchen, hot tub room, living room, two lounges and a weight room. Attached to the house is a porch. The house has a two door garage, inground swimming pool, basketball court and a vollyball net. Everyroom in the house has a wall mounted flast screen tv. This house is the perfect size. It is not too big with too many rooms but not small and crowed. The house would be ideal for a family of two or three. The pool, basketball court and vollyball would be perfect for kids. The inside of the house might be too nice for kids to be inside. This house may be pricey but it would be well worth the money because the house has exterior and interior equipment.

This is one of the lounges. This room has zebra chairs and a couch. The room has a wall mounted flat screen tv. This room also has a grand piano. The room has a table with a set of chairs. This is only one of the five tables with set of chairs around it.

This is the weight room. Equipment in this room are a tred mill, bench press, stair climber and a olyptical. In the corner of the weight room in a food area. The food area has a microwave and refrigerator.

This is a picture of the back of the house. There is an inground swimming pool. The pool comes with a diving board and a water slide. Attached to the house is a deck. On the deck is a four chair table set, a grill and a wooden swing. The house also comes with a John deere lawn mower. On the inside of the two door garage are 5 tool boxes.

I used many types of __lines__ in my house. Two of the kinds of lines that I used were horizontal lines as wallpaper in one of my rooms. I also roof lines that make up my roof. The height and length of the line depend on the size of the roof. **(picture 7)** I used many __shapes__ in my home design. I used round tables instead of square because you can fit more chairs at a round table than a square. I used rectangle stools in my design instead of square and I used curved couches instead of rectangle to fit into the corners of rooms. (**picture 6**). There are a variety of different __colors__ that I used in my house. I chose dark mellow colors instead of wild colors. On small rooms I chose light bright colors to make the room appear to be bigger. **(picture 5).** I used my __space__ wisely. I didn't want to make my house and rooms too big but I didnt want to make my rooms and house too small because everything would have been cramped together. There were many __textures__ in my design. On my countertops I used a rough edge to make the room not seem so plain **(picture 5)**. __Value__ had an effect on my design. When I had a dark room I would make the acessories in the room light. This is also what I did for __contrast__ too. I didn't want a room to be completly dark so I added light acessories to even the room. **(picture 7)** When I say even I mean, __balance__. I balanced the room color and size wise. I had an even number of furniture on each side of the room to make sure one side of the room wasn't too crowded. __Emphasis__ comes in a room when there is something in the room that makes it stand out. In **picture 7**, I didn't want to make the furniture a solid color because it would blend in with the walls too much so I made the furniture have a zebra effect to make it stand out. This dominates my design because different effects in a room gives it light and color so the room isn't boring. I used __repetition__ a lot in my house **(picture 7 & 6).** I often put a square or round table with 2-4 chairs around it in many of my rooms and outside on my porch. __Unity__ in my house was very important. To make all of my rooms tie together I made them all different. I put different furniture and colors in each room so the wouldn't all be the same.





the kitchen should be no more then 26 feet, mine is not. Number 4, separating work centers is covered in this picture also, there is no full height objects seperating work spaces. Number 5, Work triangle traffic is covered in my kitchen too. When I first started making my triangle my table was in the way so I had to move it to make a clear path in my kitchen. Standards 25 and 26 and both about the countertops. A total of 158” of countertop frontage, 24” deep, with at least 15” of clearance above, is needed. Standard 26 is countertop edges. The edges of the countertop must be rounded, not pointed. Number 6 to the kitchen standards is work aisle. It requires that work aisle should be at least 42" wide for one cook and at least 48" wide for multiple cooks. My aisles are about 62" wide. Standard number 7 is the walkway. The walkway that goes past, through or leads to the kitchen should be at least 36" long. 36" is 3 feet long, my walkway is about 8 feet long so my kitchen covers that standard. Standard 8 states that there should be at least 32" behind the seating area for room for the chair and room for others to walk behind the seat. My kitchen has just about 32" of walking space behind each stool. Standard number 9 is that there should be room inbetween the top on the seat and the bottom of the table. I have 11" inbetween the stool and the table. Standard number 10 recommends that if there is one sink in the kitchen that it should be across or adjacent from the cooking surface or refridgerator. Standards 11 and 12 are covered in this picture also. There is 3" on one side of the sink and there is at least 36" of counter space to work. My counter space for work is between the stove and sink, there is also space to work on the right side of the kitchen. Standard 12 and 15 are about the same, they both state that there should be 3" on one side of the sink. Standard 24 is covered in this picture also. This standard states that if two landing areas are adjacent to one another, determine a new minimum for the two adjoining spaces by taking the longer of the two landing area requirements and adding 12.” In this picture it shows a red circle on the back side of the left chair. The circle is my lighting. That is what standard 31 is. The lighting must have a switch. In standard 16 is states that there should be NO MORE then 48" of area across from the refridgerator. In front of my fridge I have 3 feet which is 36". Standard 17-20 is all about the cooking surface area. The counter- top/cooking area should be low enough to be wheelchair accessable but high enough to work comfortably. Standards 21 and 22 says if the microwave oven is placed below the countertop the oven bottom must be at least 15” off the finished floor. Standard 23 is about the oven, it states that at least a 15” landing area next to or above the oven. Standards 28 and 29 are about the storage around the sink. The standards require that around the sink there should be room for cleanup/preparation. On the left side of my sink I have about 2 feet of work area. Standard 30 is electrical receptacles. GFCI (Ground-fault circuit-interrupter) protection is required.

Standard 13 doesnt apply because I don't have an dishwasher. Standard 14 is covered. I have one trashbin and one recycling bin. My recycling bin is inside ine of the three cabinets so it is unseen in these pictures. Also Standard 27 doesn't apply to me because it is about storage. It explains about the lengths and depths of full length cabinets.



I designed a two story house. Appliance wise a two story house is more costly because there is more room so you need more furniture and accessories to fill in the space. On the other hand a two story house is cheaper then a one story house because you are getting more out of your foundation that you built that was very expensive. A two story house is also cheaper to heat. Heat rises so with good insulation the upstairs will already be heated. In a two story house there is more maintenance involved. Also if you wanted to replace the siding on the second floor (picture 3) that would be difficult because you would need a later and a latter can only reach so far. There is more construction involved in a two story. A two story house can be accessible for disabilities but it requires more technology then a basic one story house. To enter the first house with a disability you can have a ramp to the house. To go from the first story to the second you can have either an elevator or a chair lift. You could have a ramp to get to the second floor but it would have to be really long so it isn’t steep. My house is not wheel chair accessible. In picture 2 you can see I have a set of stairs that you need to take to get into the house. To make it wheelchair accessible all I would have to do is place a ramp over the stairs. Disadvantages of a two story house is there is more cleaning involved, more purchasing of furniture and more things that could need repair.
