Students work with an easy-to-use, yet powerful design package to design a home from the ground up. They review the basics of home design and then get to work designing a home to meet a selected client’s needs. As they work, students learn how to draw walls and add doors, windows, and a roof. They learn about requirements and recommendations for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems, and then add these components to their design. The software enables students to choose wall and floor coverings, furniture, and exterior siding. Once they complete their design, students use a printer and foam board to produce a 3D model of their home. This curriculum will accommodate 7-, 10-, or 15-day class rotations.
