This projects goal was to design a sustainable, simple, affordable home for the Habitat For Humanity group in the Palouse. Due to the short amount of time, we designed in groups, we also did not know the clients for the home yet, as they had not been picked. Mine and Ashley's idea for this design was to create a simple home, with a neutral color scheme that was affordable but still aesthetically pleasing. I think our design was extremely successful, we chose colors that work great with many different decorations and furniture selections, the exterior of the home was relatively simple so that people with little to no experience in building houses would still be able to built it, but we were still able to make it aesthetically pleasing and affordable to build. There are things we could have improved on, however. We chose not to put a 2nd window in the front bedroom to keep it private, but the builder pointed out that while we were keeping the bedroom private as we had hoped, we were leaving a very long wall on the front exterior of the house with little interest. Overall I do this project was successful, and with a couple changes I would be completely satisfied.
