Introduction
In this project, you will be the architect of your own dream home! You will create a home floor plan that includes at least all of the following rooms:
2x Bedroom
1x lounge room
1x kitchen
Following some measurements you have to work out the perimeters of the 4 rooms, and decide how far apart the rooms should be.
You'll need to select and use an appropriate unit to measure and compare the distances
Task
Design 2x bedrooms, 1x lounge room and 1x kitchen
Design 1x kitchen table and 1x desk
Bedroom One
The total perimeter of bedroom one cannot be any bigger than 50 metres or smaller than 30 meters
Bedroom Two
he total perimeter of bedroom two cannot be any bigger than 35 meters or smaller than 25 meters
Lounge Room
The lounge room must have the smallest perimeter in the house
Kitchen
The kitchen is free to be any size you choose! However, it must be bigger than the lounge room.
Kitchen table and desk.
BOTH must include unit of measurements that include meters, centimetres and millimetres. You are free to decide which room the desk goes in, but the kitchen table must fit in the kitchen.

This interactive centimeter grid paper will be useful to plan out your rooms and can be used to assist you visualising the space:
Your plan must be submitted through Google Drawings, click on the link below for an example:
