Image of My Model
Description
For this project, I chose to model my family home. This house means a lot to me because it’s the house I grew up in, and a lot of my best memories growing up were made here. Over the years, my parents have remodeled parts of the house, but for this project I specifically wanted to model the vert first build. I actually dug through storage with my mom to look for the original appraisal documents from when my parents first purchased the house.
This two-story house has 5 bedrooms (one has been converted to an office), 3 bathrooms, a den, a kitchen, two dining spaces, and two living spaces. An important feature is that the dining room and family room are single-story rooms. It was challenging to model the roofs for these two rooms, and getting the slope to look correct without actually knowing what the slope measurement was was pretty tricky. I also paid greater attention to the details when modeling the kitchen cabinets and yard topography as close to accurate as possible, as I have a lot of fond memories of cooking in the kitchen with my parents and playing in the yard with friends and family.
I’ve included some photos of the actual house to provide some context for my model.
