Bird House Project
In our first year in the academy, for our schools annual Earth Day event, we were assigned to build a birdhouse thst would meet our clients needs. My partner Samir Mujtaba and I designed this birdhouse out of 2x4s cut at specific angles to creat what looks like a stump. Our client was a cardinal.
AutoCAD House
In our second year in the academy, we worked constantly out of the book to learn the basic AutoCAD functions and to design a house. After we had the floor plans and elevations completed, we built a scale model of the building.
Tiny House Project
In our third year of Drafting we were tasked with the project of designing a 50 tiny house community for VRC (Veteran Resource Center) graduates to live. We had to choose a location of this village and find out the walkable score. I chose two empty lots in the La Villa borough of Jacksonville, Florida just a few blocks away from the urban core. The goal was to get Veterans to be more involved in the community to try and bring them back into civilian life. For our tiny house we had to research the accommodations we should make for these Veterans. My model has a glass door on the back to bring in light and creat easy access as there is a 5 foot dovetail from the trailer that can act as a ramp to get up.
