I was planning to do some work over break, but like in my last blog post I got stuck because of my software. After meeting with my mentor and Ms. Buinicky I was able to come to a solution. Ms. Buinicky helped me download the new Sketchup program so I could continue on my project! Since then I have just been watching videos and looking at other people's models to draw inspiration. Some that I really liked were the Ikea square meter challenges, where the creators were trying to fit a hypothetical family of four in a small apartment, similar to what I am trying to do. They thought of using space in ways I hadn't thought of. Some examples are using the space over the desk, and having moveable couches to make a living room multifunctional. To see more of their ideas I will also include some links that I thought were particularly inspiring.

Over the course of this week, my main goal was to develop a master bedroom since that is the main aspect of a house in my opinion and one of the most important elements in my sister's. As I created the room, I was thinking that I wanted to be able to look at different elements of the room such such as the the furniture and compare it to the empty room. To do that though I would need to create different elements of my signature model, and so I did that with the layers tool on SketchUp. Instead of just writing about it, I thought I would also make a short screencast showing you how it was done. In addition, I wanted there to be a lot of space for my sister and her husband to store things, so I included space next to their open closet, underneath their bed, and under their side tables. While the design seems simplistic I thought it would be better than having the space be more cluttered as open space gives the illusion more space.
