Hello,

So, as you’ve seen in my title, me, Robbie, Ethan and Spencer designed and built our dream house. It started as pricing and measuring square footage of objects, and then we were given the task to use our new knowledge to design and construct a 3D model to go with our blueprints.

First, we chose a floor plan for our two floors:

 First floor Second Floor

As you can probably tell, we decided to make our house in Minecraft. We did a one block high model to see the design and room sizes. Each block in the game was equivalent to 1 square foot. After we knew what we were building the house out of, we started the construction. Our 3D model didn’t match our measurements exactly, but it still looked all right. Here is the outside of our final 3D model:

You are probably wondering what the heck is on the roof, so I, going to tell you. On the left, we have our overhanging pool with waterfall/diving board, in the middle a half court basketball court, and you can’t see it, but we have a tennis courts as well. We estimated our house was going to be $275,000 but once we added in our expensive items and features, we would say it’s more around $1,000,000 total. The total living space square footage is 1,830.

Overall, I liked this project because I like to design and build, and that was my favourite part: the building. I didn’t love the calculation parts because it sometimes was confusing.

Thanks for reading, see y’all later.
