Project: Our House

2000SF Residential Home

NYIT SoAD Construction Drawing

Fall 2022

In this class, we studied our own home. We started with field sketches of all the elevations and plans of the existing house. We studied the site and the construction materials. We then were asked to develop a demo and renovation plan for changes we would like to make. From there we began to work in REVIT to create the existing model of our home. We then created a full set of construction drawings that covered the existing plans, demo plan and proposed renovations.

Proposed Renovation Plan & Elevations

The renovation plan seeks to preserve as much as the current layout as possible of the home to maximize comfort while minimizing expense to the homeowner. The renovation plan expands the Entry Tower, allowing for more storage space, the large main bathroom is split into a master bathroom suite and full size family bath, and expands a narrow bedroom to a more comfortable size. Positions and sizes of windows were considered with keeping to the architectural Spanish revival style as well as the desired lighting.
