For my interview I had met with my sister to ask her about how she feels about the house she lives in. My goal was to consider the other aspects of housing that I would not have thought of as I have never had to think about the convenience of the kitchen nor the utility of the garage. My greatest takeaway from meeting with my sister was learning about the importance of the kitchen. My sister had mentioned that space in multiple questions, saying that was where most of the family spent time together, one of the three rooms she could not live without, and even the one space she would save above all the other rooms. This means I should definitely include a kitchen space in my design, whereas before I had considered not really having one, or at least a really small one. Another thing my sister mentioned was the idea of open space. Many times when she had guests over it was important for them to have a space to entertain people where everyone was comfortable. Open space also gives the effect of a bigger home, which is great when you have guests over and even just for your family to enjoy. While my sister mentioned having enough rooms for privacy, that was something that realized was really important as people need time to themselves to unwind and just enjoy the peace. Overall my sister made some really nice points and I was able to understand what she felt was important for a family home. While I continue with the project I will still be able to talk to her and get feedback.

Before beginning this project, I had worked with sketchup in creating a model of my dream room and a model of the library at my old school while they were renovating it. From this I was able to remember and remind myself of how different parts of sketchup could be used. Here are some visuals of what my projects had looked like. (You can also look under the images page to see more pictures). These models gave me experience with the program and gave me some ideas in how to use the space. |
