Question

Part G: Design a Scale Model Using the information you’ve gathered, design a scale blueprint of the floors in your home. Determine a layout for the home and the area in square feet for each room. For square- or rectangle-shaped rooms, multiply the room’s length by its width. You can also use a measuring tape to measure the length and width of the rooms in your own home to help determine the area each room should be. Calculate the total square feet of the home to make sure the entire area of the home is reasonable for the ZIP code. Next, determine the scale for the dimensions. According to the dimensions of the house in the sample diagram shown, the home’s length and width (including the solar panel) will both be 34 feet. The given grid measures 27 boxes by 20 boxes. Because the dimensions of the house in the blueprint need to be 34 feet by 34 feet, the dimensions of the house need to be scaled down to fit on the grid. So, the scale for the length and width of the blueprint is 1 box = 2 feet. If your house has more than one floor, adjust the scale and make a separate layout for each floor. Your basic floor plan should look similar to this one: Floor plan displaying outdoor garden (24feet x 12feet) with solar panel (4feet x 6feet) on right, living room (14feet x 12feet), kitchen (14feet x 10feet), and bedroom (10feet x 12feet) with a bath (10feet x6feet) and a storage (6feet x 12feet). After completing the floor plan, it’s up to you to decide the best way to show the eco-friendly features of your home. You could write descriptions directly in the diagram or use symbols or numbers and create a key. Most importantly, your diagram should be easy to read and understand. Draw the scale diagram of your home on the grid. Your drawing should include these features: the scale the actual length and width of each room labels for each room symbols to indicate the locations of eco-friendly feature

Answer 1

Design a scale blueprint of your home, considering dimensions, area calculations, and eco-friendly features, ensuring clarity and readability on the grid.

Creating a scale blueprint of your home involves careful consideration of dimensions, area calculations, and the incorporation of eco-friendly features. Based on the gathered information, the layout of each room is determined, and the area for square or rectangular rooms is calculated by multiplying length and width. The total square footage of the home is then verified for reasonability within the ZIP code. To fit the dimensions on the provided grid, a scale is established, with 1 box representing 2 feet in the sample design. Adjusting the scale for multi-floor homes, a separate layout is devised for each floor.

The basic floor plan should include outdoor features like a garden and solar panel, along with rooms such as the living room, kitchen, bedroom, bath, and storage, each labeled with actual dimensions. The scale diagram is expected to be clear and easy to read, featuring symbols or numbers to represent eco-friendly features, accompanied by a key for understanding. This comprehensive blueprint serves as a visual representation of the home's layout and green elements, facilitating effective communication of its design.
