Room Design Brief

Building regulations play a massive
role in determining how a room is
designed. They govern things like
room sizes, door widths, room
layouts and cabinet positions.
In groups, you are tasked with
designing and modelling a given
room according to accessibility
building regulations (Technical
Guidance Document M). Your designs must incorporate all of the features
associated with the given room and rationale must be provided for why you
designed the room the way you have.
You will first figure out dimensions that adhere to regulations and sketch your
proposed design plan (using drawing equipment). The second step will be the
implementation of your design into the Homestyler software. Finally, in your
groups, you will create an informative PowerPoint presentation about your
designs AND the regulations associated with your assigned room
Each presentation should be 5-8 minutes long and should inform the class about
the various regulations relating to your project as well as your chosen designs.
EVERY group member must speak during the presentations. Presentations will
take place during the final week of school before Christmas and will be graded.
