Interior Model

 

Working on the interior model today; scale is one inch = one foot.

 

1/2 done:

 

 

(I am very proud. It took a couple re-modelings, but it is just how I pictured it. The blue pegs are my ladder to go up the loft, and during the day, they will close flush with the support beam. On the left is my closet/kitchen shelf/linen closet. This is a major structural feature and provides just the right amount of storage for one person.) 

1/2 to go:

 

 

(Looking good! Gotta add a few minor details, like a daybed in the bump, and then I am ready to draw blueprints and elevations!)

Bubble Plans

Alright! I am ready to rock and roll! Today was the first official day that I got serious about building my house.

I just made my plan of attack, and now I'm getting started. The first thing I did was to find my needs: find out who is going to be at my house(me, my mother, my father, and my friends) and what their needs are(for me, a place for reading, sun, and a kitchen; for my parents, a place to hangout and talk with me; for my friends, a place to hangout with a screen of some sort to watch movies with my friends. All of this will somehow make its way into my 6' by 16' tiny house; maybe each space will have a totally separate use along with those listed above.


Next I had to draw my bubble plan! To make my bubble plan I drew how I thought I might like my home to be laid out; I drew my kitchen as a bubble in the back of the house; obviously the kitchen will not be a bubble in the final product, but... I like the idea of it being in the back of the house. This is how it went for the ENTIRE HOUSE(which really wasn't that much of a house :P); I drew a plan for the bottom and the top, which I might add that while doing the top floor was a piece of cake, the bottom floor took time and effort; look at the comparison:

And of course, you have to have a snack when you're hard at work... building a house:

Next step: Use case scenarios and space planning!
