Affordable Housing Project

Description: This project is a Habitat For Humanity house for the Grote famlily in Noblesville, IN. This family has two adults and two kids. The house contains three bedrooms. The Habitat for humanity guidelines describe that if you have 3 bedrooms you're required to have 1 and a half bathrooms. I encorperated 3 sky lights and also EnergyStar appliances. Steve Grote mentioned a couple of features he would want for his house, such as; a deck, sliding doors, and a master bathroom. As the architect, I had to explain the Habitat for Humanity guidelines and decide which features would work. I decided that a patio would be more sufficient than a deck. I had to stay within the 1070 square feet limit. To save space, I made a judgement call to join together the dining, living, and kitchen areas. All in all, Mr. Grote and I were able to create a succesful house design.

 Water Supply: I found, based on the distance from the water source and pipes, that the expected water pressure in the house will be 44.51 psi. This is within the residential limits, so no pump or valve is needed.
