TRANQUILITY EMERSED IN WARMTH -Habitat for Humanity board 1/2

This is the Habitat for Humity house design project that we did in our studio class. Habitat for Humanity is an organization that builds homes for the lower income population. The homes are built with the owners and volunteers of the area. This is way for the home owners to "pay" for their house with out money. We were paired up with a partner and together were supposed to come up with a 3 bedroom floor plan, no bigger than 11,000 square feet, and fall right on or below the desired budget 80-85 K. The idea of combining tranquility and warmth with in the home is what katrina and I decided to go with. We then came up with this house design built around the idea of having a shed roof. At first we were told not to design a house with a shed roof because the clients just didn't see how this would work, but with persistance katrina and I designed a funtionable, cheap, aesthetically pleasing and sustainable home containing a shed roof. The first board contains our floor plan, the main living space perspective, some pictures of the site where the house is to be built and also the 2 exterior elevations. This was an excellent experience working with another designer to come up with such a design. The color pallet, materials, over all layout and interior features all connect and support our concept of tranquility emersed in warmth.

Habitat for Humainity board 2/2

This is the second board of Katrina and I's habitat home design. It displays many of the elevations and some of the perspectives that were done for the house. The interior elevations describe and show how the chosen shed roof design is handled when it comes to the interior aesthetics of the home and also why certain aspects and details of the home are the way they are. the windows in the living area that are set high are because of the shed roof, allowing for natural light to come in. The lowered ceiling heights in all the bedrooms are because of the shed roofs large void it would leave in personal and private areas. The bedroom interior, bath interior and kitchen interior perspectives all show show the homes tranquility and warmth through out the chosen materials. This is a home that anyone can enjoy, relax and experience true nirvana within.

Final 201 Presentation Boards: THE GREGORY'S SPACE

This is board 1/3 of my final presentation boards and this board contains both the Gregory's whole house including Dan and Patty's side, the mezzanine and also the grandparents little outfit as well as the concept statement which is derived from the poem "Home is Where the Heart Lives". I pulled from this key words that I thought were strong in the poem and then created a concept model from that. The concept statement explains this even further into detail (above).

This is board 2/3 of the final presentation boards. This board displays the two bedroom perspectives of the Gregory's bedroom, the two bath elevations, the materials for the bedroom and bathroom and the "concept" related photos to further explain the bedroom's ceiling and architecture.

This is board 3/3 of my final presentation boards. This includes the living/dining perspective with chosen materials, the living, kitchen and south entry perspectives and also the kitchen materials.

Chosen Materials for the Gregory Home

These are some of the sustainable materials and interior colors that were chossen to go in the Gregory's home. These materials and colors were chosen specifically to fit the Gregory's personalities, desires, needs, the Palouse and also chosen with consideration and appeal to the sustainability of them. These materials and colors will make for a great feel through out the house while providing aesthetically pleasing and long lasting materials as the Gregorys age.

This beautiful design along with the colors, interiors and art that reperesent my design and also concept of the home representing a puzzle, one that you are able to "fit into".
