- Provided with 2 x shipping containers costing $3500 each ($7000) from the budget
- Size

External Internal

Length 6.06m Length 5.90m

Furnishings, should you decide to are assumed to be pre owned and no out of pocket cost is involved.

♦ Research – using the resources provided to price and collect information on the process to create your tiny house.
Research the idea of sustainability and what you could incorporate into your tiny house. Research insulation for the
house and what can be used to keep the heat/cool out in the peak seasons. Research and collect examples of
what other designers have done – specifically shipping containers. Research house plans and how fixings are
represented in a birds eye view. Eg: toilet shower etc.

♦ Idea generation – Roughly 2 - 3 small thumb nail sketches of ideas for your possible house plan. Think about
layout, shape, stacking etc. Plan where designated living spaces would be and how much space they take up
internally.

Use a Key if required.

Designer statement – half a page of writing about what you were trying to achieve with your designs, what is your
