Grade 10 Design Exercise
Design - Approximately 2 weeks
Design scenario: You are an Architect working for a large firm developing a new high rise condo development in downtown London. You have been given the task of designing the well laid out “Derbyshire” style condo. In the Derbyshire Condo there will be 2 full baths (3 pieces in each) a dining room, a living room and 2 bedrooms. Your layout will include a bathroom complete with cupboards and fixtures. You will also show the location of all appliances. You will have 1200 square feet in which to put these rooms. You will have an AutoCAD drawing of the floor plan and will use that to make a Google SketchUP drawing of the condo (they must match exactly). The condo has no stairs. Your SketchUP will be used for demonstration purposes so location of furniture would be an asset. You will also need a one-view elevation drawing of the condo to show the door and the windows. Colors and textures should be added to your Sketchup in order to attract buyers.
List:
· Closet must be in all bedrooms and bathrooms
· Foyer c/w closet (Entrance for shoes, jackets etc)
· Sliding door to Balcony (Balcony is 13 feet by 4 feet)
