Assignment A

I have been working on my kitchen cabinets, soffits and appliances in my kitchen. Skills I developed during this section was how to put in cabinets and how to use the soffit tool button. Another skill I developed was how to put in corner cabinets. In the real world I could use these skills because I might want to become an architect and I now know how to use soffits and corner cabinets. The problem I had with this section was putting in the soffit. It was a challenge figuring out how to first put it in, but once I asked for help by a peer I figured out how to do it. I was successful in a way that I went through this section without needing a lot of help from my teacher. A strategy I can use in the future would definitely be, taking my time to read instructions and not trying to rush. I showed creativity in this design because I switched to glass framed cabinets.

Assignment B In this drawing I was working on putting in my porch and my deck. One skill that I had to work with in this section, which was different from the last, was making decks and trying to make the soffits fit correctly. I will now know what it takes to build a deck for my house in the future. Meaning I know what materials will be needed. A problem I ran into this section was having the soffits reaching the bottom of the deck. I solved it by adjusting the length in which it would reach the deck. I was successful in a way that I didn’t need help from my teacher and in the future I won’t be reliant on anyone else. I showed creativity in adjusting the length of the soffits underneath the deck and porch so it would reach.

Assignment C In the last drawing I was working on my deck and porch. In this section I was working on the shadows of my house and the exterior furnishings of my house. The skills that I have gained from this section is what looks good and what does not look good outside of a house. These skills could be applied in the real world when I grow older because I will now know what I need to do for the outside part of a home. A problem I came across during this assignment was having the shadows appear on the render view. To solve my new existing problem I went back into the book and thoroughly read what I needed to do. Again I was successful in a way that I did not a lot of help from my peers and that will teach me how to be self reliant. I think I showed creativity in this assignment in the way I designed the outside of my house to feel open and relaxed.

Assignment D

Page 164 In the last drawing I was working on the shadows and exterior of my house. In this section I was starting to finish my project in a way that I had to show each view point of my house. I can honestly say that I did not develop any new skills during this section but this will leave room for learning in the future. This could help me in the future because I now can show people what architects are looking for in a plan. A problem I had with this section was really getting the hang of using page zero. The way I solved this was by just keep telling my self that page zero is a blank and do not write on that page. I was successful in the way that I was able to complete this in a short amount of time. This will help me in the future because I know how to work diligently to save time. There was not a way that I showed creativity because I had to go by what the book told me to do.

Page 166 In the last drawing I was working on showing different views of my house. In this section I was trying to show the different dimensions of my house. The skills I learned in this section was trying to space out the dimensions so that it was readable. In the real world I will know that I have to space out my dimensions of my house for when I build my house. I really did not have any problems with this section because it was just a matter of checking things off in the specified box. I was successful because I did not have to stress about this section. This will help me in the future because it will lower my stress level. I can’t again I showed creativity because I had to follow what the book said.

Assignment E In the last section I worked on showing my dimensions. In this section I worked on a new project that was a vacation home with landscape. I learned in this section that you have to include the landscape features within a plan in the real world. These skills will be applied in the future because I will need to include the terrain in my plan when I want to build a house in my future. A problem that I had in this section was not saving my work so in the end I lost everything. I went about this problem by making sure i saved every time I made a change to my plan. The way I was successful in the end was just by finally completing it and not having to start over. I have learned to save often for future projects in the future. I showed creativity by picking a different color siding.



The only thing that is different from this section and the last one is that, in this section I had to use a render view. Again in this section I learned that you have to include the landscape features within a plan in the real world. Again these skills will be applied in the future because I will need to include the terrain in my plan when I want to build a house in my future. A problem I ran into was every time I moved something in the render view, I had to go back in and turn the shadows on. To solve this I just kept applying the shadows. I was successful in a way that I completed the book. In the future I will be able to know that I can complete whatever I want if I really work at it. I was creative in a way that I had to use different support tools on my deck because it was on a landscape.

Home Design Project My new project is a one story house with a total of 3,438 total square footage of living space. In the upstairs I have a pool/ spa room that is located in one of the corners of the house. My house is shaped like a backwards C with a garage on the lower inside part of the C. Also inside of my house I have a storage room, laundry room, a closet, family room, kitchen, dining room, office, master bedroom and bath. On the outside of my house I have, again, a garage, a grill, basketball court, tennis court, a deck and other exterior furnishings. In my basement, I have a workout area, a bedroom, man cave, and a horse shoe court. The cost of my house would be expensive. The reason why it is expensive is because I have a lot of land for recreation and it is a one story house, which are normally more expensive. The maintenance of my house would be a positive thing because you would not need a ladder for any service needed to be done to the roof. Accessibility for disabilities is both a negative and a positive because one there is no upper level of stairs but there is a lower lever, which would be hard for handicapped people to get to. Heating and cooling would be a negative because I have a large area of living, and that means I need a lot of pipes going around the house. . The only way I can think to improve my disadvantages is to have solar panels on my house and a sun room for heat in the winter.
