  7. Open or Closed?

  8. Evaluating Floor Plans • Zones • Traffic Patterns • People should be able to walk freely from room to room • Hallways should be as short as possible • 3-4 ft. for circulation • Size & Shape of Rooms • Economy of Construction • Place areas of plumbing back to back • Useable Wall Space • Not broken by doors & windows • Storage

  9. Floor Plan Options • One-Level • Two-Level • Split-Level • Split-Entry

  10. Terms to Know • Blueprint • Architectural/construction drawing • Architectural Symbols • Shorthand that uses symbols to represent structures and furnishings • Scale Drawing • Drawing done on graph paper where each square represents a specific measurement • Template • Cutouts of furnishings that can be traced onto a scale drawing

  11. ARRANGING FURNITURE

  12. Learning Targets • Understand common blueprint symbols. • Understand clearance space. • Create functional furniture arrangements. • Complete a scale drawing of a room and its furnishings.

  13. Arranging Furniture • Consider Structural Features • Don’t block doors, windows, vents, or outlets • Determine the function of the room • Activities that take place in the room • Create functional groupings • Place pieces together that meet one purpose or activity

  14. Arranging Furniture • Arrange your major furnishings first • then, accessorize! • Divide large rooms into functional areas • Use furniture as dividers • Create a focal point

  15. Arranging Furniture • Consider traffic patterns • Logical and Convenient • Walk easily from place to place • Consider standard clearance space • Furniture styles should be consistent with the style of the home

  16. Arranging Furniture • Avoid placing large furniture pieces on diagonals • Wasted spaced • Consider design elements & principles • Consider views from one part of the home to another • Use groupings to direct attention toward or away from certain views

  17. Arranging Furniture • Use open planning techniques • Make small rooms appear larger • Be careful not to overcrowd!

  18. SCALE DRAWING BASICS

  19. Learning Targets • Understand various types of architectural drawings. • Understand common blueprint symbols. • Use proper clearance space on a scale drawing. • Create functional furniture arrangements. • Complete a scale drawing of a room and its furnishings.

  20. Terms to Know • Blueprint • Architectural/construction drawing • Architectural Symbols • Shorthand that uses symbols to represent structures and furnishings • Scale Drawing • Drawing done on graph paper where each square represents a specific measurement • Template • Cutouts of furnishings that can be traced onto a scale drawing

  21. Drawing to Scale • Various Scales • 1”=1’ • 1/2”=1’ • 1/4”=1’ • A 1/2 inch scale means the drawing is one-half the size of the object it represents • The smaller the scale, the more general the information

  22. Using Graph Paper • 1/4” = 1’ • Therefore, each square represents 1 ft. • If your measurements are given in inches, convert to feet by dividing the number of inches by 12 • Ex: 36 inch = 3 ft. • Draw a line that covers 3 squares • How would you draw 6.5 ft.?

  23. Starting to Draw • Outline dimensions of the room first • Add structural details (windows, doors, closets, outlets, etc.) by using the blueprint symbols • Add large furniture first, then smaller furniture & accessories • Consider Clearance Space • Label Traffic Patterns

  24. OTHER DRAWINGS

  25. Learning Targets • Understand various types of architectural drawings. • Understand common blueprint symbols. • Use proper clearance space on a scale drawing. • Create functional furniture arrangements. • Complete a scale drawing of a room and its furnishings.

  26. Professional Drawings • Elevations • Show vertical surfaces as if viewed by someone standing on the ground or floor. • See page 473 in your textbook • Pictorial • Shows several surfaces in the room simultaneously • One or Two Point • See page 481 in your textbook

  27. Professional Drawings • Rendering • Shows realistic details such as textures, shadows, shadings, and colors • See page 482 in your textbook • Overlay • Sheet of transparent material that is placed over a basic drawing. • Can show alternative color schemes, furniture arrangements, etc.
