Cabin Retreat

For this project, we were assigned to design a cabin for three women keeping in mind every single aspect that they asked for. I built my cabin in a very ordinary but also modern way. Keeping in mind the environment, I designed the cabin with not just earthy colors but also light colors. The kitchen was built as an island kitchen with a light yellow color with a dark wood to match. For the living room, I intially made it dark grey but then thought it was too dark for a living space. Then, I changed it to a light blue and added and fireplace in favor for the women. Because of the small amount of space, I decided to make two bedroom with one of them having two beds so two of them would share. Each room was colored with a somewhat dark color considering they would only be there for sleeping. Then for the bathroom, I chose very soft and light colors to brighten up the room. As for the outside, I really kept in mind the environment and so i planted various amounts of plants and a few evergreen trees to give it that "cabin retreat, outdoors" feeling. I then built a deck that extended from two sides of the house in order for the residents to relax and enjoy the great view of the lake and the mountain, away from all the noise of a busy street. Overall, i made sure to keep in mind what the women wanted with my own personal touch to convince them that my cabin was very well designed and perfect towards what they wanted.

Treehouse Design

On the tree house unit, we were instructed to create a small scaled tree house using many materials at our disposal, such as foam board, cardboard, balsa wood, string, and many other materials. Me and my partners tree house was built out of balsa wood, foam board, and printed exterior walls and roof material. There are two entrances made out of string and wood and all wood. The tree house was supported by two sticks in order for it to not fall over. The most difficult part of this whole process was creating the roof because our “tree” stuck right through the whole house so I had to cut around the “tree” in order for the roof to fit just right. All in all, the house came out really well, some parts better than others, and for the most part met the requirements that the family requested of us.

Famous Buildings Update 24

We have completed the project, missing a couple minor details but nothing too extreme. At the most, we were able to make the basic parts of the project but were not able to get into a lot of detail. Both me and my partner now know how to manage time for future projects such as this.

Famous Buildings Update 23

Me and my partner completed our structure, all we have to do now is just wait for our grade for our "artistic creation"

Famous Buildings Update 19

We have completed our entire structure in a surprise that we wouldnt. We did miss a couple of steps such as the rabbet cutter and windows but that shouldnt be much of a concern. Now we have to start decorating it and if possible carve out a few windows.

We are almost complete with our project. All we need to finish now is the back tower behind the structure.

Famous Buildings Update 17

We are more than halfway finished with our structure. All we need to do now is glue everything and actually cut out two more buildings that we overlooked in our sketch.
