Dream House Project

Congratulations!! You have won the contest to create your own dream home. Now you must design it. In this project you will be
creating a poster sized drawing of your dream home (two dimensional) and a real house model (three dimensional). This dream
home will include everything and anything you desire. It will also include some of the geometrical shapes and solids we have been
studying (which is of course something you desire!!). You will be the architect and the construction manager of this project.

PART I: FLOOR PLAN DRAWING


The first phase of your project will be to create a plan drawing of one floor of your home. It must
include distances and measurements and must also include at least one of each of these types of
shapes:
● Square
● Rectangle
● Triangle
● Circle (at least a portion of a circle, for example a semi circle)

Your drawing must have these elements:


♦ Each of your rooms must be clearly labeled (what type of room is it, the measurements, and
what type of shape it is) and neatly drawn.
▪ Rooms Required (At least):
● 2 bedrooms
● 2 bathrooms
● 1 kitchen
● 1 garage
● 1 living room
♦ Your picture must be large and on poster size paper.
♦ You must use color and make this dream home appealing.
♦ You will use the scale for your drawing so that your drawing is realistic and life-like (1 inch= 5 foot).
♦ Your home should have realistic measurements, and should be something someone would actually live in. Refer to floor plans
on the internet for assistance.
♦ Be CREATIVE! Have fun with the design and make it very imaginative.

PART 2: AREA CALCULATIONS


The second half of your project is to outfit your dream home. Your dream home must have some type of flooring. You must
choose ​at least 2 different types of flooring​, to use in your home. In order to determine how much flooring you will need you
must calculate the area of each room and decide which type of flooring you will use for each room.

You will need to produce clear calculations for the area of each room. Then using these areas and the prices for flooring listed
below, choose your type of flooring and calculate how much it will cost.

Carpet $2 per square foot


Linoleum $1 per square foot
Ceramic Tile $3 per square foot
Hardwood flooring $5 per square foot
PART 3: TOTAL AREA AND COST
You need to figure out the total area of your dream house. You will also need to figure out the total cost for the type of flooring.
DEADLINE:
● This is due Monday, December 2nd.
● Everyday it is late: 10pts (no exceptions!)
