Project-01

This is the first project of Architectural design 1. The assignment was to design a tiny home that is portable by crane, trailer, semi, or truck. Specific measurements were given for the house that we could not extend over. I created a tiny home that is similar to a shipping container. I maxed out the measurements to; height=13'-6", length=24'-0", width=8'-6". The house has a steel frame so that it can be transported by crane. The exterior consists of steel and wood. The main part to this house is the roof. The roof is made of glass giving the homeowner an ultimate view to the sky and the surroundings outside. The roof raises when stationary, giving the homeowner the ability to stand up in the loft.

Research-"Georgia"

Most houses in Georgia have a colonial look and feel to them. The civil war was a big part of Georgia's history and they keep that history by building homes with white accents, pillars in the front, and wood exterior.

The climate in Georgia is sub-tropical, with hot and humid summers except for the higher elevations. The weather condition varies, depending on how close that city is to the Atlantic ocean. Most of Georgia gets moderate to heavy rain. Georgia is also one of the leading states in tornado incidents.

As leisure activities in Georgia, most people and families get together with friends to watch college football. There are very many people that are Georgia Bulldog fans. People also take hikes in the woods, go camping in the canyon, or hunt on private leases.

Average cost of living

The average cost of living in Georgia is less than living in most every state in the US

The food in Georgia is based on meats and soul food. Georgia's cuisine includes a variety of different foods ranging from seafood, corn on the cob, chicken and dumplings, Brunswick stew, and fried chicken and corn bread. Other well known foods in the state are, pecans, peaches, peanuts, and grits.

Architecture in GA

The architecture in Georgia is not nearly the same as architecture in most US states. The history of the civil war that was fought in and around Georgia has influenced the way architects make buildings in Georgia.

Project 02 Concept Drawings

This was my very first design. It followed up to be the design I used in my final Project.

This is the concept floor plan that I drew out and decided matched best with my concept elevation. This drawing eventually became my final floor plan.

These drawings are concepts for my second floor and basement.

Project 02 Briefing

We were allowed to create our own client for this project. I created Clint Northman. Clint is a reserve Air Force pilot. He is stationed in Houston County, Georgia. He is married to Claire Northman. Clint's hobbies include hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, and watching the Georgia Bulldogs. Clint needed a house where he could do everything he loves. So I created a house that has room for him to watch football with friends, embrace the outdoors, and live the life he wants.
