 TINY HOUSE PROJECT
Square feet is determined by multiplying length x width of living space in a
home.

1st: using AutoCAD, draw the given floor plan accurately.

2nd: using AutoCAD, draw the FRONT and a SIDE elevation in orthographic
format (the two views should line up)
3rd: using a maximum of 360sqft, design your own tiny home.
You must include your own floor plan, and elevation views. You CANNOT copy an
existing design. You must also provide sketches prior to starting your CAD work for
approval to begin.
4th: create a 3D model using cardboard or other materials
5th: create a power point to present your floor plan, elevations, and model
