Sketchup--3D Model
Your task is to use Sketchup to create a 3D Model of a home. You will have a client for which you are designing the home.
Interior Design
Your home will have:
a kitchen
at least one bathroom
a living room
at least one bedroom
and a laundry room
The room sizes are suggestions, but you may design your own room size. You do need to actually use the number of doorways/closet doors/ windows for the rooms.
Resources for Learning
Begin your project with Google Sketchup Practice. Follow the first three links to practice creating a drawing in Google Sketchup.
Client Options
You must pick one of the following clients and design their rooms for them:
A single woman who is very interested in green living.
A family of three. (The child is a 14 year old.)
A husband and wife who are both avid outdoors people.
A family of three. (The child is a 2 year old.)
A single man who is a huge Green Bay Packers Fan.
Bedroom 1 — 10 feet by 15 feet (1 window, 1 door, and 28” wide closet door)
Bedroom 2—15 feet by 15 feet (2 windows, 1 door, 48” wide closet doors)
Master Bedroom—20 feet by 20 feet (2 windows, 1 door, 1 bathroom door, 2-28” wide closet doors)
Living Room 1—20 feet by 25 feet (1 48” wide window, 1 48” wide opening to kitchen, 1 36” wide entry door)
Living room 2-- 18 feet by 20 feet (1 36” wide entry door, 1 36” wide doorway to another room, 3 windows)
Bathroom-- 10 feet by 12 feet (toilet, shower, sink)
Bathroom—12 feet by 15 feet (toilet, shower, sink, window)
Use Google Sketchup to create your floor plan and design for the room. I know that
you will not be able to find identical pieces in the Google templates that you will find
to purchase, but you should find similar ones.
I think it would be a good idea to start with a sketch and a brainstorm sheet of what
you will include in the room. You may want to list a theme or a set of colors that you
would like to use.
