Designing My Home

Home Design Assignment – Part A: My Own Space!

Task 1A: Research

1. Using the Internet, find four (4) house, apartment or condo plans that are within the size range of 1300 ft2 to 2000 ft2. You can find these plans at various websites, including (but not limited to) the ones listed below:
   www.coolhouseplans.com
   www.dreamhomesource.com
   www.homestyles.com
   www.homeplanfinder.com
   www.thehousedesigners.com
2. Analyse the plans that you have found and determine the rationale for the designer’s layout and room sizes.
3. List features that you like and dislike for each house plan, such as a bad location of a
   washroom, small rooms, window placements, or too much distance between the
   kitchen and dining room.

Each partner must hand in:

• 2 house plans
• An analysis of each plan (preferably using a word processor)
• Features you liked and disliked about each plan
