One of the important skills that I have learned through the program is space planning and AutoCAD. During Residential Design the program required we develop our own set of construction documents. This entailed having to design and develop floor plans based on the program requirements. Below are my schematic design and construction documents of both units.

Co-Housing is not necessarily a new concept. However, it is an arrangement or gathering of people living and sharing an area. It has the potential to save money, share chores, enjoy group activities, and form lasting friendships. Co-Housing typically consists of The Common House, the primary space residents gather for events and activities. Clustered Housing are smaller individual homes that surround The Common House. These spaces can be condominiums, townhouses, single-family houses, duplexes, or tiny homes. Lastly, the Outdoor area allows residents to interact, make collaborative decision-making, and build relationships. But why Co-Housing? Connections, environmentalism, security, and community are many reasons the Co-Housing lifestyle increases joy and ease in many people's lives. Residents drive the decisions and how they interact within the community!
