Quarter 1: Architectural Drafting: The original project was to design a one story 500 square foot home. Throughout the quarter a second story was added along with additional square footage on the first level. The home was required to be a home we would love to live in. I chose to design a beach home located in St. Joseph, Michigan. This vacation home sleeps up to 6 people and is a take on a modern cape cod. The furnishings throughout the home are inspired by mid-century modern design, allowing texture, unique textiles, and a cool color palette to define the home. The home uses many natural products from the Michigan area, such as reclaimed driftwood, beach glass, and rock. This home is truly a vacation dream home and someday I hope to build it on the shore of Lake Michigan!
