Collection of class projects created using manual drafting and digital software.
Original Smith House v1
Created in CD111 Basic Drafting using manual drafting methods. Project included a basic floor plan that required additions such as a kitchen, bathrooms, a walk in closet, a washer and dryer, and a set of stairs. Finished project is a two bathroom, one bedroom house with a living and dining room, a lanai going through the center of the home, and a basement type foundation that will be used in the digital conversion of project. No second floor was added to this plan, but it will be added when converting original plans into a digital format. Project includes a floor plan, front elevation, section plans, and a roof plan. Difficulties with project centered around the time and energy needed to draw plans and adjusting room spaces to create the best layout for the house.
Digital Smith House v2
Created in CD121 Computer Aided Design I and CD150 Residential Construction using AutoCAD 2013. Project is a digital conversion of the original house created in Basic Drafting and has been refined to have more space than first version. Additions include a second floor complete with three guest bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a balcony lounge area. The basement is now complete with a utilities room, a sit down bar, a personal work station, an entertainment center, and a pool table for entertaining guests. Additional plans include second floor and basement plans, framing plans and elevations, framing details, kitchen plan and elevation, bathroom plan and elevation, and a foundation plan. Difficulties with project included adjusting original plan, adding new floors, and creating framing plans.
Digital Smith House v3
Created in CD125 Computer Aided Design II using Revit Architecture 2013. Project was coverted into a 3D format of AutoCAD plans and was adjusted to meet certain standards. Changes include moving the washer and dryer to the basement, extending and master bathroom, changing the roof type, extending the stairs, and adjusting the guest bedroom. Additions include furniture, lighting fixtures, lanai screens, flooring, and wall materials. Extra plans include stairs plans with construction details and roof framing plan with construction details. Images were rendered in Revit using featured material pallet and lighting settings. Difficulties with project included learning Revit software, rendering images, and having to think in three dimensions instead of two dimensions.
Residential House
Created in CD130 Residential Architectural Design using Revit Architecture 2013. Project was based off the needs of two clients that desired a 2,500 square foot home for their family. The finished project provided five bedrooms, four bathrooms, a large living room, a dining room next to a gourmet kitchen, an office, a play space for their children, a basement lounge, a game room, an exercise room, and a sit down bar. The spaces were arranged so that the clients could entertain groups of up to 30 guests. Their children can have a room for themselves while guests were over where the nanny could watch over them. The reduction in walled off spaces on the first floor provides a more open and welcoming atmosphere for guests. Difficulties with project included arranging and fitting spaces in a layout that best fit the clients' needs.
Remodeled Restrooms
Created in CD225 Digital Walkthrough and Visualization using Revit Architecture 2013 and 3Ds Max 2013. Project was based off measurements taken when dimensioning mens restroom on campus. Womens room was reflected off of mens room and was given the proper number of bathroom stalls. The task was to redesign the womens restroom with new materials, lights, and sanitation equipment. The finished womens restroom has new lime stone walls, red marble countertops, overhead lighting, blue tile flooring, brass stalls, a glass block wall at the entrance, a glass door, and a casement ceiling. The layout still meets ADA requirements for handicap accessibility. Difficulties with remodeling included finding fixtures and creating a casement ceiling. A digital walkthrough of the remodeled restroom was made in 3Ds Max 2013.
Commercial Building
Created in CD230 Commercial Architectural Design and CD250 Commercial Construction using AutoCAD and Revit Architecture 2013. Project was based off the needs of a single client who desired a 6,000 square foot commercial building. The project called for three retail spaces, a family restaurant, a main lobby, six office spaces on the second floor, and all other necessary spaces. These spaces included, restrooms, stairs, an elevator, maintenance rooms, and equipment rooms. Layout was designed to have all spaces connected by a single hallway on both floors. The final project met all of the clients' needs while keeping the building within 6,450 square feet. Extra plans include a site plan, electrical and lighting plans, hvac plans, and reflected ceiling plans. Difficulties included creating the building layout, hvac plans, and creating a functional parking lot on the site plan.
